Vic Sprouse should carry a brimstone proof umbrella come November

Former Senate Minority Leader Vic Sprouse proudly demonstrates he can count the number of state senators, including himself, not running for re-election or who might be leaving office.

With math skills like his, it's no surprise that he uses his "engineering" degree to wipe the sweat off the equipment at his overpriced ladies gyms. Sprouse wrote:

If hell freezes over, and the heavens open up and rain fire and brimstone onto the earth... AFTER those two events occur, then Senator John Unger might, possibly, could beat Shelley Capito for Congress, that would be nine.

Let's remember the grammatically challenged Sprouse's history of political predictions. Sprouse picked former New York crossdressing mayor and wanna-be dictator Rudy Guiliani to win the White House.

Tonight, Guiliani received 3 percent of the vote in the Michigan primary. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who Sprouse mocked as a fringe candidate, received twice the number of votes as Guiliani.

Unlike Sprouse, I don't think Unger is a long shot. I think he's got a great chance of winning. Sprouse should leave the political prognostications to those who are good at it.

Update: With 100 percent of precincts in, final shows Paul more than doubled Guiliani's votes. Guiliani did pull ahead of "Uncommitted" though.

Classic Sprouse (4.00 / 1)
Giuliani opens wide lead in Reuters/Zogby poll November 23, 2007

Rudy is moving ahead, keep up the great work!

I hope Sprouse brings the same magic touch to Capito's campaign that he did in supporting Rudy!

I still say Sprouse should end every sentence with (4.00 / 2)
"Giggity, Giggity, Aw-Riiight!" like this guy.

Truly LOL, Jay (4.00 / 1)
Thanks.

speaking of accurate predictions... (4.00 / 1)
Speaking accurate predictions, let's revisit this one from July 17, 2007. That's back when Giuliani still had a commanding lead in national opinion polls.

Giuliani will not win the nomination. Yes, he is the uber-authoritarian candidate. That's not enough. There are way too many skeletons in that closet (Kerik, Baker-Hamilton AWOL, cross-dressing penchant, uber-ugly divorces, etc.). Nationally, Republicans just don't want a New York mayor representing them either.

Hey, I just noticed something else from that post. I correctly predicted Iowa almost 6 months in advance. :-)

Once Obama wins Iowa, the nomination is his to win. Edwards finishes second, Clinton third in Iowa.

There's time yet for a Gore endorsement to put Obama over the top... if that happens and Obama goes on to beat Romney in the general I expect someone to buy me a crystal ball. ;-)

Yes, but you're just a dirty hippy hillbilly blogger. ;)

Those are fightin' words!

Who you calling dirty? I shower at least once a week!
