Must have been the superdelegates.

This is where the inevitability argument would have worked.

Yglesias made a typo!

Sorry, usually other commentators say it before me. I'm going to be first this time...

He's lucky Nader wasn't around to spoil it.

He only won it because tears welled up in his eyes during that photo-op the night before the election.

I thought he was doing his Father Guido Sarducci impersonation.

They didn't have an election you moron. Raul just declared himself the winner. No wonder you support Obama and his Cuba-loving policies.

He should have just had the Supreme Court declare him the winner. Much more legitimate that way.

Mike, that is the most brilliant bit of deadpan satire I have seen in weeks.

(at least I hope it is)

Mike, he's joking, you moron.

Sigh. If only Mark Penn was managing his campaign, this probably never would have happened.

The only person who voted for him was Fidel. The rest of Cuba's population doesn't count.

Ready on day one.

He has 35 years of experience as First Brother.

I guess the Latino voter firewall worked.

What, the idiot son Fidel W. Castro didn't get the job handed to him?

This is the last time I trust the leaked exit polls.

Meanwhile, in a real election, the Commie also wins.

This actually -is- a surprise. Life imitating art, I suppose.

Check URL for more.

Just to clarify, in the above post I was talking about Cyprus.

I really am a total idiot at this time in the morning...

In retrospect, I think Raul's campaign advisers made all the right choices.

Mark Penn would have found a way to lose it.
