As you can see, my predictions were just as close as anyone else's. I feel proud for taking the risk of simply choosing which poll I liked the most. Good luck to all the people who are still in the running.

As you may have known, I was at some kind of "Watch the Primary Results" party this evening with the law student democrats. I got three slices of pizza, so I think that my time was well spent. My friend Leslie and some of her friends all hung out for the majority of the event, which was key, because otherwise I would have just been sitting alone surfing the web in the back of the room. Here we all are hanging out in the new Wachtell Lipton® Lounge at our law school (To steal an observation from a guy named Peter, we are genuinely only one building away from naming the toilet paper dispensers after contributors).



Pretty fun. Someone accused me of being this troll on the mailing list, but I quickly pointed out that I was the one who had called the troll out for his general troll-ness. I think it was because I was surfing the blogs, looking for exit poll results (which I found, as you can see from my previous blog entry). The LawDems elected to watch the results on CNN, although some drunk guy and I both argued that the best coverage was obviously on Fox. I guess the leadership of the club didn't want to be Fair and Balanced. But seriously, what candidate doesn't watch Fox to learn their weaknesses? If you are running a campaign that Fox isn't bashing, something is rotten in the state of Denmark. You don't want to surround yourself with yes-men at this point anyway.

Again, free food and drinks, so it was time well spent. There is no chance I will get to do it again in Law School, and I hope to not have the opportunity to do it again until 2012. The pictures were not that great, but that is probably because it was a very relaxed affair. Talk about nerdy, we even had a straw poll! Kerry won, but Sharpton got some actual votes. Looks like we lean to the left here in the Democrats. "Joementum" was nowhere to be seen. I guess you shouldn't make up words to gain traction with law students.

Although, it worked for Bush...hmm. Adam-tastic, anyone?

After about 40% of the real NH votes were in and Kerry had accepted his victory through oratory, I left to go watch trivia across the street. There were actually three law school teams. It was like an embarrassment of riches, except in team form instead of gold. I couldn't choose which to join, so I didn't join anyone. Indecision 2004 indeed! As a solution, I just took pictures, save for one moment of weakness. Desiring to show my comprehensive pop music knowlege, I correctly identified the name of the Gorillaz's single "Clint Eastwood" for the eventual world champion team. If they had won by only half a point, I would have brought this up a lot sooner in the post. But they dominated the competition to such an extent that the final scores were not even close. You could call them the Kerry of the evening. Actually, second place went to another law school team. The second team had ten members, so they greatly outspent the competition but didn't have the finishing power. You can call them the Dean of the evening. Either way, it was a great showing for the law school. You could call NYU Law School the "Anti-Bush" law school.

You might get lucky and find out what the host thought of the evening on Caren Lissner's Blog. She writes about things that happen in her life, and she's a PROFESSIONAL. So don't just take all your news from me, go pester her to get the inside scoop.

What's that? Huh? You want pictures from my evening? Okay, I can do that. Try to pick which of the teams pictured below was the aforementioned world champions and which lacked the Joementum going into the final round. HINT: There may be 'clues' in the actual image!



So, there are a lot of people in those pictures that I do not know, but that didn't slow me down. When you have a camera, you are a king of the world. Random people in the club wanted to know if I was there for a special reason. I didn't have a good response, but next time, I will claim that I was working for the Village Voice. The teams celebrated their wins and went off to some place involving Belgium. I said my goodbyes and then I walked home in the snow. It was quite snowy. The end.
