Primaries '08: Vermont and Rhode Island Take Center Stage

Tonight is the fifth in the Do-or-Die/Must-Win primary series that will hopefully be over by the Olympics.

Texas and Ohio are the only states to care about, mainly because Vermont and Rhode Island haven't carried any clout since they both went for John Adams.

So if you're not heading down to the Old Pequilar for Quiz Night, or over to Neumos for British Sea Power, why not turn on the TV and watch as the news channels cram three hours of information into eight hours of coverage.

Clinton is up by a smidge in Texas, it's neck and neck in Ohio, and Rush Limbaugh fans are going big for Hillary.

Of course Obama was up big the day of the New Hampshire primary, and on Election Day 2004 Zogby told us Kerry would win, and for first time that year we got excited (we still haven't forgiven you "Zogby"). The point is nobody knows what's going to happen.

At Seattlest headquarters we'll be making our guests wear cowboy hats as we prepare Ohio meals fit for an out of work machinist.

Coverage, opinions, and theories on today's big vote are all over the internets, however, this is the only political discussion you'll need to read before the results come crashing through your TV.

Also, Oklahoma City voters may be determining the future of our basketball team (not the Blazers, the Sonics), and if being "a big league city" is worth selling their soul to a few billionaires.

just guessing, but honestly, it makes the most sense.
