Hillary's Shotgun Strategy

The former first lady seems to be arming herself at this point in the race with one of these in each hand.






She covers a lot of territory with the scattergun approach, but never stays long enough in one place to really connect with the voters. And despite the tight pair of shots in Dallas attributed to her by the New York Times, Shootin Dan believes that was clearly Bill at the Book Depository with a Carcano.

Bill's Super Shorty

When not in Dallas, Slick Willy seems to favor the Mossberg Super Shorty.






Sure, they're great for intimidation - loud as fuck and you can spray some shit up in a hurry - but you're not gonna actually hurt anyone with it unless you're standing close enough to connect with a solid right hook anyway.

you own a black trench coat, don't you?

Barack: "Oswald was a fag."

Obama has obviously been putting in a lot of time at the range with the Armalite, and based on his tight groupings in Austin and Cleveland, he's opted for an effecient tactical use of the three-round burst setting.

tennis socks are not the new black trench coat.

that's too bad.

they're less conspicuous.

that's fuckin' awesome! ...does the brother really speak spanish?

†Vote totals are the number of delegates elected to the next level of district conventions in Texas.

barack is going DOWN you just wait

well the numbers above show a photo finish race... for all practical purposes too close to call even after 100% of the districts have reported. 50.8 to 47.4 or 51.9 to 48.0? .......differences smaller than the margin of error...


there's a long way to go between here and the white house, so in the long run you might be right, but i hope not.

it's going to be a close one between barack and hilary for the nomination.

why the hell are people still voting for Hillary? i don't get it!

why DIDN'T they vote for ron paul? fourteen delegates? shame.

who is ron paul?
