In case you haven’t heard, tonight is the biggest, baddest and most important VP debate EVER.
And nothing goes better with big, bad and important events quite like drinking games. We at CC have created a drinking game worthy of the event, so grab your friends (bonus if they are on the other team…it just makes everything more fun), all the essentials, and get your political game on!
What you will need:
Beer: 2 kinds are necessary: a quality brew of your choice, and a blue-collar variety (we prefer PBR).
Vodka: Stoli, straight from Palin’s neighbor, Russia, is best
A stack of dollar bills: You know you’ve been storing your money under the mattress lately, anyway.
The New York Times reported in a recent article that the candidates for the 2008 election will be using social networking tools such as myspace as a campaign tool. So far, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joseph Biden, and Dennis Kucinich have set up myspace pages, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney will launch their official pages in the coming weeks.
“Tom Anderson, 31, a MySpace founder, said, “MySpace has a method of reaching people who are historically not interested in voting” and may not read newspapers or watch news on television. He added: “A MySpace profile could excite their interest in ways they are used to. In the same way they learn about their friends, they could learn about a candidate.””
I’m not sure how I feel about this tactic, it seems sort of silly to me that candidates are setting up accounts on sites where typically it would be creepy for someone their age to be on. But, I can see the argument that at least it gets young people interested in the issues, even if they are just glancing at the pages briefly.
Here’s what I could come up with in terms of myspace pages that are up so far for each
