Inebriation 2012: A decidedly nonalcoholic drinking game

The presidential election polls are showing a virtual dead heat in the presidential race. A long night awaits the election results watcher. What better way to make time go faster than with an election-themed drinking game? Enjoy your “grape juice”!

Drink if:

    A newscaster refuses to call a state that is obviously going Obama or Romney’s way, like Texas or New York, because it’s “too early.”

    James Carville is misunderstood because of his thick accent.

    CNN uses holograms. Drink twice if the hologram is of a celebrity.

    Someone uses an interactive map to explain something much less complicated than the map makes it seem.

    Fox News claims that Hurricane Sandy affects turnout in a state not hit by the hurricane.

    A Romney son (Tagg, Matt, Josh, Benjamin, Craig) is misidentified. Finish your drink if someone refers to a Romney son by one of the Palin names (Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig).

    Sarah Palin makes the election about herself.

    Bill Clinton makes the election about himself.

    Joe Biden mentions trains.

    The camera closes in on Paul Ryan’s baby blues.

    Someone trashes Nate Silver’s model.

Buzzed words:

    Underdog victory

    Hope and change

    Libya/Benghazi

    Failed leadership

    Binders of women

    Big Bird

    Obamacare

    Romnesia

    “Believe in America”

    “Forward!”
