A Republican a Democrat and an Independent Candidate walk into a bar....

[RR2]

As they go in they all agree that who ever is losing in the latest poll buys the drinks. The Republican hurries up to the bar and picks up the TV remote and tunes into Fox News. Just so happens they are announcing the leader in a poll of Fox News viewers, the Republican is leading by a whopping 5 points over the other two. The Democrat thinking quickly picks up the remote and tunes to MSNBC. They are announcing the latest poll numbers of its viewers, The Democrat is leading among its viewers by 5 points. The Independent not wanting to be outdone grabs the remote and switch's to CNN, and wouldn't you know it they are also showing the poll numbers from its viewers. The Indie is in the lead by 5 points and the Pub and Dem are only separated by 3 points. Since there is no clear winner in the bet, who pays for the drinks?

Sad but true.

3. This follows RW themes of MSNBC & the Democrats being an analog to Fox/GOP's connection and

that CNN is somehow independent. Ridiculous on all counts.

[RR2]

11. Really, school me.

I wonder how many here watch Fox News for their journalistic content as opposed to MSNBC.

4. Any of the three not willing to see Hillary is running away with it while they are getting drunk. nt

6. They order their drinks and stiff the server, the owner illegally takes it out of the servers wages.

12. That's creative, and close to the truth.

7. ...and the bartender says: "Hello Mr. Chafee; how'd the campaign go?"

[brooklynite]

8. Actually, all three networks would be reporting the same polls as they came out...

...keeps the horserace story going.

[Fearless]

13. They would get into a "heated debate" about "scientific polls" and get tossed out of the bar
