DU Pool: Win a Star!
All you need do is to predict the number of Palin-endorsed candidates who are gonna lose tomorrow night. Use http://texas4palin.blogspot.com/2010/10/summary-of-gov-palins-endorsements.html to get your list of Palin victims.

To play:
1. Post the number here.
2. Send me a PM.

In case of ties, the winner will be selected at random.

If you want to play but already have a star, no problem! You can get your own renewed, or give it to someone you like.

Good luck! Go Dem!

These folks are flat out nuts.

EVERY reporter interviewing a Palin-approved candidate should have asked about our two shooting wars.

More fucking taxcuts will get everything back to the way it used to be. Yup. You betcha.

Stuff like:

sunrise to sunset jobs, seven days/week

nickel Cokes in those almost unbreakable 6.5oz. bottles from those good ol' machines

spending over half of one's income on food

Beaver Cleaver lives next door to all of us

high earners were taxed at over 90%

we could afford to send our kids to college

not all of us were allowed to vote

more?

I count 62 total endorsements with 11 losses in primaries, so there are theoretically 51 running. Of course, the list is 4 weeks old. 29 losses seems reasonable.
