Deadspin
Because we are Americans, and this is what we like to call a "democracy," you all should get out and vote today. We have some friends who, if they live in states that have closed primaries, don't vote because they "don't like to be labeled." Hey, who likes to be labeled? We want to vote.
If you feel so inclined, you can vote for the candidates based on their baseball team choices. To sum up:
Obama: Chicago White Sox.
Romney: Boston Red Sox.
McCain: Arizona Diamondbacks.
Clinton: Oh, who the heck knows anymore?
The whole election has been just as much fun as anything in sports over the last month, other than that Super Bowl of course. We'll be up way too late into the night watching results. Most important: Go out there and vote. And, hell, if freaking Perez Hilton can do it, so can we: Go out there and vote Obama.

I've got a crush on Obama.
To liven up voting, be sure to tell the exit pollsters you voted Ron Paul, regardless of what party primary you're voting in.
Should we just give Hillary a jersey with multiple logos all over it just like the one Gaylord Perry used to wear to old timers games?
here's that pic...guess I should have origionally included it.

@kataroo_kangaroo: I always approve of skewing polling data. not sure why.
@kataroo_kangaroo: Unless you're wearing a spinning bow tie, face paint and a plaid straightjacket, they'll know you're not serious.
I prefer to go by their favourite Minor League team.
Hillary Clinton: Asheville Tourists/Portland Beavers
Ron Paul: Modesto Nuts
Mike Huckabee: Fort Myers Miracle
Barack Obama: Tennessee Smokies
Dennis Kucinich: Great Lakes Loons
@kataroo_kangaroo: +1. Then sit back and laugh as Ron Paul fans claim conspiracy after comparing exit poll results to the real results.
Today is Erection Day. In my pants.
Exit Polls
Obama 52 percent
Torgo 42 percent
Martin Lawrence is running for President now?
Go out there and vote Obama
This is the happiest thing I have read on Deadspin in the past two days.
And on another note, I bet Romney won't even win his "home" state. Fraud.
About time someone got moving on the sequel to Posse.
@Bad Becks: Paul Lukas just shit his pants.
Excuse me while I wip this out . . .
Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
If only Will could find a picture of Obama in a black T-shirt, with a "God Save the Fan" book tucked under his arm......
I vote on candidates based upon their World League of American Football affiliation. So help me God if Obama supported the Barcelona Dragons.
"be sure to tell the exit pollsters you voted Ron Paul"
Be sure to tell Ron Paul supporters that actual exit polls don't generally require Javascript or a valid e-mail address.
George Carlin says that if I don't vote, I'll have the right to bitch and moan later. After all, it won't be MY fault that some jackass is in office.
Turd Sandwich or Giant Douche ?
vote quimby
Didn't know Charlie Pride was running for office.
Then Obama murdered Imus, and returned with his hat to verify his feat to the townspeople.
"Torgo" makes less sense than "Mongo" where I said "Torgo" just then.
@Paul Zuvella:
Ooh, baby, you are so talented! And they are so DUMB!
Obama is the only one who looks fit enough to play some pick-up ball (and did with an SI writer). That's enough for me.
@HazelMaesLandingStrip: agreed times a thousand. not that i NEEDED Perez Hilton to cement the fact that I am supporting the correct candidate, but hey, whatever helps.
Barack is setting out to find the Ark of the Covenant.
@HazelMaesLandingStrip: Technically he did win Michigan the state grew up in...though it wasn't hard to win. He just offered jobs to the 15 people still left in the state
Yes we can.
I loved Blazing Saddles.
/ducks
Now THAT's a gay cowboy I could sit down and have a beer with!
@Weed Against Speed:
"Bart, they says you were hung."
@Doyle McPoyle: Go ahead throw away your vote!
Don't blame me I voted for Kodos.
I think if a picture of Obama Girl were posted we'd get the message a little more.
@Tebow2007: Alonzo "Hamburger" Jones is running for President now?
Fixed.
@Suss: Hillary takes care of the place while Bill is away?
Since I came in too late to make the obvious Blazing Saddles reference, I shall slink away quietly.
Pardon me waiter, but it appears the cook got some Wonkette in my Deadspin.
@kataroo_kangaroo: X-Men: The Last Stand left so many questions unanswered.
Will Ron Paul ever get his mutant powers back?
I wonder what Obama is more uncomfortable wearing: a cowboy hat or a dashiki.
Caption:
In between campaign stops in Missouri and Tennessee, presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama (D. Ill) went out and roped a couple'a calves and wrangled some steers.
@Bad Becks: That wouldn't work. She wants to wear what ever team is appropriate at the time and claim she has always supported that team. Then we are supposed to be to stupid figure it out.
can we not vote for Bush again?
YOU TELL THAT DAAAHHHKIE THAT ONLY TAWMMY BRADY IS ALLOWED TO ENDAWSE STETSON!!!!
I hereby announce my vote for "God Save the Fan" as THE book of the year!
Hilary Clinton supports the Class A Auburn Doubleface.
Arlen Specter would root for the Pirates, but he can't figure out which position Johnny Depp plays.
@Da_Mang: Sorry, had to do it.
@UpstateUnderdog:
My position is clear.
@Da_Mang: I made one first, but apparently it got lost in cyberspace. Nibbles is a harsh mistress.
@matt_t: Not too loudly, sir, or everyone will want one.
Vote Carcetti. Clean up Baltimore!

@matt_t: It's SUPER TUESDAY! Suck it up and bet on the color of the gatorade the winner will be doused in...
@matt_t:
You should see it when the chef gets some Jezebel in the Wonkette....
