Say there's a 3 way Presidential election.

Lost me right there. Will not happen in forseeable future, no need to clutch at straws.
I was thinking of the 1912 election when I wrote this.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Make a map of the potential outcome and I'll comment on it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Oh, I am, I've spent hours and hours going over statewide results from the  1904, 1912 and 1920, 1924 elections in order to make sure that the results are plausible given a non-Wilson Democratic candidate.

I hope he's serious.  :lol:

You should have spent the time studying how to say "You're beautiful" and "I love you" in Korean.  :P

I love you would be a bit much, don't you think?

Nah, it can be useful.
Better to know it and not use it, than need to use it and not know it.

Dude...you're never going to be in your 20s and in Korea again.  Go get drunk and meet chicks.

1912 was the foreseeable future in 1910, not 2010.  :P

I never said in the OP that I was thinking of the foreseeable future.

DP, I will be doing that tonight. It's not like I don't go out and do that here.

And it will be my job to make sure Tim doesn't try to impress girls with minutia of 100 year old elections.

That's not how I remember our last outing.

What does the Electoral College matter? Everyone knows that American political decisions are made by faceless rich white guys in coke-filled rooms.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
