Recommend This Thread If You Think I Should Drop Out Of The Primaries
I mean, my cash on hand is $4.75 (and I was planning to use that for lunch today) and the other two candidates have a seemingly insurmountable lead in pledged delegates.

Obama - 1,491
Clinton - 1,331
Jeff in Milwaukee - 0

And the Super Delegates? You wouldn't believe what some of them want for their endorsement. I can understand the mayonnaise and rope, but why do they have to keep insisting on a goat?!

It's really looking like my campaign theme "Jeff In Milwaukee Isn't Nearly As Stupid As He Looks" just isn't resonating with voters.

2. My wife is opposed to sex after marriage...
She says it's disgusting and takes up valuable time that could be spent watching HGTV

3. If you can't win your home state, you need to pack it up
and move to Minnesota where you'd be more appreciated. Maybe a nice lakeside home near Walter Mondale, Al Franken or Jesse Ventura?

was supposed to be my base. I probably shouldn't have announced my candidacy during the Jump Around.

27. Hey! I only have nine recommendations....
That means America is hungry for the type of politics that I would bring to Washington.

Which would be idiotic and sophomoric. I'm thinking of Pauly Shore as my Secretary of Defense.

29. Well, to be honest...
I pretty much ignored all the other caucuses and primaries. I've been saving my powder for the Guam Primary.

It's a variation on Rudy Giuliani's strategy, only dumber.
