The Politics of the Main Event

Hey Scott, it's your You Don't Know Jack Overlord reaching out to you.

IN THIS CORNER... a charismatic speaker from Chicago with grassroots support; a man who burst onto the scene with his amazing oratory skills that rocked the foundation of what he does to the very core; a man who promised a new era and was sent straight into the highest position based upon his promises; a man who surrounds himself with others who preach his word and openly proclaims his status as a Cult of Personality; a man who, despite being in a position of respect, cannot get it; a man who has had to answer in the past for accusations leveled at him due to who his father is.

IN THIS CORNER... an industry lifer from Massachusetts who had to re-invent himself to get where he is; a man with success at what he does over the past 10 years; a man who wishes to obtain the position held by the Chicagoite; a man who is constantly challenging his Chicago opposition; a man whose moral code is an object of both admiration and scorn; a man who has achieved the change on a smaller level that his opponent promises on a big level.

So... Punk/Cena or Obama/Romney?

You know, I more than hold my own at You Don't Know Jack.  Just because I don't play 18 games a day doesn't mean I'm not awesome at it.  

Anyway, I know nothing about politics outside what people whine about in their Facebook updates, so I'll take your word for this one.  I know Obama is the black guy and Romney is the rich guy and that's about all I can pay attention to.

  2. How apropos, because I just came here to point out somewhere: in the Third Party debates going on right now (which people should be watching), someone just submitted a question via Tout. No, seriously.

  5. I may just be old and out of touch but I had no idea people used Tout for anything at all. I'd never heard of it pre-WWE and other than this I've never heard/seen it in any other context.

  9. Obama is the Black Guy and Romney is the Rich Guy. I would take Obama's wealth anyday of the week.

  10. Donald Trump tried the October Surprise by telling the world that the Obamas had filed for divorce in 2000. Of course, this was all known, but it's ironic that the guy who's been through three marriages is trying to help the guy who could have three wives if he wanted.

  11. My money's on Pennsylvania with Ohio and Nevada having an outside chance. The stuff that's gone on in Pennsylvania (voter ID, throwing voter registrations away, the Romney family owning the voting machine, voter intimidation) is already pretty ridiculous. If that state goes for Romney and is even remotely close, it's going to be the biggest story of the century.

  12. The e-mail is awesome and does represent what's going on. People getting intense and overly sensitive about things that just don't matter because Obama is obviously going to win again and wrestling is still going to suck.

  13. The Voter ID thing has been pushed back till after the election.

  14. See, that's one of the charming quirks I enjoy about the blog...

  15. And Obama's lead in PA is safe enough that anything otherwise would cause a constitutional crisis. (Source; fivethirtyeight)

  16. Republicans are Cena fans. Seems about right.

  17. If anything, Ohio's going to be the most likely state for shenanigans, if only because folks are going to trumpet that one of Romney's sons has a finanical stake in the company that produces that state's voting machines.

  18. I lean towards the GOP but agree with issues on both sides. I am not a big Cena supporter.
