Shouldn't It Read "The Voters And The Readers Don't Seem To Care?"
Man, and I thought Stantis was lazy before. Rather than actually deal with the primary season, he's just going to send Winslow off on "vacation" so he can waste a week talking about how Winslow isn't campaigning anymore because he doesn't care if he loses.
None of this makes any sense. It really doesn't. When Prickly City moved its primary up, Winslow became the frontrunner and received millions in contributions, which he quickly wasted. He won, but nobody voted. He never went to Iowa, but apparently Carmen - who for no real reason is working hard to get Winslow elected - did have people campaigning there (even though Winslow had spent all their money on things not related to the campaign, which I think is illegal). She also wanted him to get out the vote in New Hampshire, and there he actually did work the phones.
Now this week Winslow is following the polls and knows he has zero chance of winning (like after Iowa and NH he was still in the running?). So he's on vacation. Stantis made sure not to draw a background for that panel, so I'm not sure if that's because Stantis is setting up a future "joke" where Winslow is really just on the roof of the campaign headquarters, or if he's so lazy he couldn't be bothered with drawing the beach or a pool.
So Carmen, who is SCREAMING at Winslow to get back to work, is now apparently adamant about somehow winning this election. Why? We still don't know. She's obviously seen the polls - she knows he doesn't have a chance. So why work so hard? It's one of the few times Winslow is the smarter of the two. Enjoy it while you can.
This is just a really lame way to kill a week. Have Winslow "disappear" so Stantis doesn't actually have to deal with the real issues. What's the point? I guess much like Carmen's reason for wanting to run Winslow's campaign, we'll never know.

I think we're going to find that Winston is down in Mexico hanging out with Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, since they have nowhere to be either. Oh yes I did. Big D...feat.

MICHIGAN RESULTS: ROMNEY TRIUMPHANT IN BIRTH STATE; CLINTON WINS MEANINGLESS PRIMARY
It seems that the more primaries/caucuses there are, the less we know about who's going to be the Republican nominee. Huckabee won in Iowa, McCain won in New Hampshire, and Romney has now won (by about 9% too) in Michigan. (Romney also won the largely ignored Wyoming primary.) Now all we need is a victory for Fred Thompson and a victory for Rudy Giuliani and we might as well be back at Square One.
As I wrote before, because it's in violation of party rule the Democratic primary in Michigan doesn't count; furthermore, Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot. About 60% voted for Hillary Clinton, then, plus about 30% "uncommited." Also, 4% for Kucinich and 1% for Gravel.
Good night and good luck.
