Liveblogging the Glorious Primary Time of Middle America, America’s America

by Jack Stuef  8:06 pm August 3, 2010

Stuffed with Cox.Tonight Michigan, Missouri, and Kansas decide their futures. Choose one candidate, and everybody gets laid tonight by a hot person. Choose another, and we all drown in a giant America-sized vat of Liquid-Plumr. Which choice will they make? The Michigan state bird is the robin! The Missouri state bird is the bluebird! The Kansas state bird is the western meadowlark! LET’S DO THIS THING. Crank up the Sufjan Stevens! We have U.S. senate and gubernatorial primaries to make little jokes about, folks.

8:06 PM — Important Michigan news: the Detroit Tigers are somehow winning 5-0, despite basically being a minor-league team right now because of all their injuries. DOES THIS MEAN UNDERDOGS WILL RULE THE NIGHT? Yes.
8:08 PM — With 0.0% of precincts reporting, there is nothing to report.
8:12 PM — Haha, Rick Sanchez is wearing reading glasses. He looks so smart! Yes, it appears nobody in the cable LAMESTREAM MEDIA is covering this. So all the glory falls to your afternoon editor.
8:18 PM — This Rick Snyder man is a Republican candidate for Michigan governor. Haha, nerd! “A very bright entrepreneur.” More like a very bright entrepreneur of your editor’s ass! Wait, that sounds bad.

8:20 PM — Here is a P’o thing about tonight’s races. Vroom vroom!
8:28 PM — Aww, this is cute: Rick Synder’s website doesn’t work right now because this UStream up of his impending concession speech is messing things up.
8:33 PM — Here is a fun attack ad. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox tearfully made a speech a few years back admitting he had an affair (with his cock[x]). And now he is being attacked with rumors that he went to one of America’s Sext Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s hip mayor’s-mansion sex parties. Haha, “Cox.”

8:38 PM — Also running in the Republican primary: U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra. He is generally an ass.
8:43 PM — Here is the platform on Hoekstra’s website. He wants to be your slaveboy, Michigan! Whip him, please. He likes it when you whip him.
8:50 PM — chascates says somebody on Twitter called the Kansas GOP governor primary for Sam Brownback, and that is good enough for us. Once Brownback wanted to be president of the United States, but now he shall be president of Kansas, which is just as good.
8:51 PM — chascates has now UNDECLARED Brownback the winner. Grow some balls, chascates! We are still calling it for Brownback.
8:59 PM — The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero has defeated House Speaker Andy Dillon for the Democratic nomination for governor. The ONE TOUGH NERD is magically leading Hoekstra and the Cox 36%-30%-19% according to their projections. Will Michigan be led by a nerd or the only person in the state to be named “Virg” or “Bernero”? It is amazing because these things both seem pretty foreign to the Great Lakes State.
9:01 PM — With 1.8% of precincts reporting, a little green checkmark graphic has called the Missouri Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate for Robin Carnahan. Also expected to win: Roy Blunt for the Republicans. The real winner is nepotism.
9:05 PM — The little green checkmark has now confirmed Wonkette’s confirmation of chascates’ confirmation that somebody on Twitter called Sam Brownback the winner in his GOP governor’s race. He will face the unopposed Democrat Tom Holland, who is known as cool and extreme among Kansas youths because he has the same initials as skateboardman Tony Hawk.
9:19 PM — Holy shit, you need to look at this dumb “humor” video Roy Blunt put up on his YouTube account. What the fuck? The Riddler works with Batman and Robin? Nancy Pelosi is not assigned a superhero/villain? Obama is voiced by a white robot so as not to sound black so as not to sound racist? Also, we thought conservatives thought Obama was Heath Ledger. WHAT IS GOING ON?

9:21 PM — Batman-hater Congressman Roy Blunt has been declared the winner of his race. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, etc.
9:25 PM — Please remember that this number is not that of your dealer, though it should be. (Also, look at this Facebook account name: “bluntrd.” Haha, Bluntard, Blunturd.)

9:40 PM — Tigers win! And now we continue here.

The abos of America’s Outback actually get to vote?!!? No wonder you’re so fucked, Mate!

rafflesinc August 3, 2010 at 8:11 pm

Totally OT but does Wonkette plan to liveblog the release of the Prop 8 decision tomorrow?

Nice choice of soundtrack, Jack.

Maybe the Tigers are the Alvin Greene of baseball?

weejee August 3, 2010 at 8:19 pm

So Jack, are you going to stay around for the Mighty Mo and the “no place like for homies” Kansas??

BarackMyWorld August 3, 2010 at 8:22 pm

The “frontrunner” in the MO Senate contest is Rep. Roy Blunt, who is not only a Abramoff crony, but hated by the Tea Baggers for voting for TARP, and used his family connections in 2004 to get his idiot son elected one of our worst governors. He’s also the former acting-U.S. House majority leader, but got beat by Boehner. He was also the House Republican Whip, until he lost that job to Eric Cantor.

That, and he looks like Jack Nicholson when he wore the Joker face with his regular skintone in “Batman.”

[re=631529]weejee[/re]: apropos of soundtracks and analogies, I’d just like to know when there’s a King Buzzo of politics.

Keep an eye on MI-13. Hansen Clark who is giving Cheeks Kilpatrick a tight run, beat Ann Coulter in a race when they were back in college.

1. KS GOV primary called 4 Brownback. RGA: Brownback “will run on a clear vision of a KS that holds the line on taxes, controls govt spending”

bago August 3, 2010 at 8:45 pm

So what’s the sexytime version of august?

I vote that jack gets augustpeneured!

chascates August 3, 2010 at 8:48 pm

Oops, apparently no call on KS gov yet. That’s what I get for looking at another site!

caieva August 3, 2010 at 8:53 pm

Is there any election type thingys happening in ILLINOIS?
That’s Sufjan’s best work…

corduroypants August 3, 2010 at 8:54 pm

No jokes about Jerry Moran from Kansas yet? Get a Brain Morans!

plowman August 3, 2010 at 8:55 pm

And here they come, neck and neck, and YES, IT’S A WHITE MAN BY A NOSE!

DemmeFatale August 3, 2010 at 9:00 pm

Is the headless Bonobos guy a trick to get us to hit refresh (over and over)?

chascates August 3, 2010 at 9:03 pm

Aaron Blake of WashPo claims:
Robin Carnahan has won the Dem Senate nod in Missouri. A call for Blunt should be far behind.

Man, I’m ready for a blunt right now!

WindbagCity August 3, 2010 at 9:06 pm

the lack of alt-text is making me an Asthmatic Kitty…

SmutBoffin August 3, 2010 at 9:10 pm

OH NO! Infinite recursion in the Hoekstra ‘J.O.B.S.’ slogan!

weejee August 3, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Obamer will be impeached because the no on Obamacare Prop C is winning 70% to 30%. Nobody in Missouri will ever have to buy health insurance again ever.

Say Barry, can you have Gates pull the plug on all Missouri DoD spending? Be a way to say, same to you!

progressiveinga August 3, 2010 at 9:20 pm

Man, and I thought I was a loser for looking forward to Shark Week. Primary night in the flyover states is just about to put me over the edge. Holy Jeebus I’m depressed.

weejee August 3, 2010 at 9:21 pm

[re=631548]SmutBoffin[/re]: Hoekstra also misspelled teh S. Should be “savant.”

chascates August 3, 2010 at 9:22 pm

Sorry, I’ve been obsessed with:

And I’m thinking of the ballot prop in CA.

ThePuckStopsHere August 3, 2010 at 9:23 pm

The only reason Hoekstra wanted to be governor is that he’s tired of being the dumbest son-of-a-bitch in Congress.

chascates August 3, 2010 at 9:25 pm

Koekstra currently #2, trailing by 5-7 pts.

Butterscotch Stalin August 3, 2010 at 9:25 pm

That album cover is mostly Wisconsin though?

slavojzizek August 3, 2010 at 9:26 pm

Bonobos–nothing will convince normal dude to purchase slightly more fitted pants than naming them after a bunch of homo peacenik apes.

PeteJayhawk v2.0 August 3, 2010 at 9:35 pm

EXCITING UPDATE.

Sam Brownback has just been declared the winner of his primary, with 5% of precincts reporting. He’s currently winning 83%-17%.

RIP Joan Heffington’s campaign. Looks like GOD has made his decision.

AddHomonym August 3, 2010 at 9:36 pm

That Batman video was a looooonnngg 1:37 but it’s funny, see, because her name is also Robin.

chascates August 3, 2010 at 9:39 pm

Aaron:
Looking bad for Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), down 49-32 with 16 percent of precincts in. Would be 4th House incumbent to lose primary.

All we need are more festive politicians.

BAIL! New post!

iburl August 3, 2010 at 10:15 pm

I think a white robot voiced Obama/Riddler because they don’t have a single black Republican in the midwest.
I can’t believe that Brownback got elected, oh wait, yes I can, It’s Kansas.
Blunt, Brownback, and who’s next? Senator Roach? Governor Spliffington?

villageatrois August 4, 2010 at 4:11 am

There ain’t nothing like an air crash to support a campaign!

Love,

If the Tea Bagger candidates can’t get through a primary, how do they expect to take over America?
