Spork3245 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 With the god awful fried food candidates would eat to appeal to Iowans, I always assumed that not dropping dead of a heart attack was part of vetting process. Now we’re going to see everyone eating boiled peanuts. Sure, SC has their pork bbq, but I feel like that’s more of a slow killer. Edit: Oh, F, I just remembered SC is known for their peaches. I don’t want to see candidates sucking on a peach. NOBODY WANTS THIS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 The whole primary process is dumb as hell. "Oh the guy I wanted to vote for got voted out before I could vote for him." I mean it's like the general election but with more stupid rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always understood this argument, but I also think a spaced out election cycle allows people to make come backs and break out. Obama breaking out an Iowa and Biden coming back in South Carolina are both big stories in Democratic primaries. Same with New Hampshire for McCain in 2008 and New Hampshire for Romney in 2012.

There’s a water tower with a giant statue of a peach on top on I-85 near Greenville, and it’s noteworthy because it looks like an ass.

SaysWho? Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Georgia’s nickname is the peach state, so that’s my association, but California produces a ton. We don’t get a ton from South Carolina here in Florida for whatever reason. At least last I checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the NYC BOE for instance has a page on the 2022 primaries, which doesn't really make sense if they're not administering the primaries: https://vote.nyc/page/primary-elections-2022 In California they're definitely real elections, Rick Caruso could have won the mayorship of LA outright if he'd gotten over 50% in the primary for example, trying to pull that off is probably why he was flooding ad money during the primary when nobody else was. I think you're thinking of caucuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
