what to watch for in tonight's debate

Cat Head: a controversial Veep??

Hi everybody, it's Melinda (Lindy) the new pink bear who looks just like Henri only pink.  I still think we are related but I digress - I'm like that!  Me and Miss Moneypenny (also new) have teamed up to create FiveThirtyPlayt wherein we use expert statistical analysis of trends and stuff like that to analyze who will win the upcoming election for Commish!  I do the blogging she does the Financial part. Woo!  Okay I will calm down now.  I get excited.  We are still working out "the kinks" but our methodology is super sound we promise.

Right now everybody assumes that the White Girl will be the next Commish but our polling says that it is a tighter race than maybe it seems!!  In fact the White Girl at the moment has only a 61.7% chance of winning. That is down four points since the last time we aggreggaggeted (sp?) the polls which was like four days ago I think. So all those news reports that said that the White Girl would get a big "bump" from picking Cat Head for Vice Commish were off base!!! 

How about that? In fact it could be so that the Cat Head pick is hurting not helping and a drag on the ticket. Our polling delves deeper into these trends and says that many in the Box "resent" that Cat Head does not live in the box and has no real Playt experience. Also the floating head vote seems solidly behind Da Oysta so the pick does not cut in to the floating head vote the way it was supposed to. Cloten for instance is solid for Da Oysta and Lisa acts like she is above it all (I think she is stuck up!)

But it is just as likely that voters are "coming home" to Da Oysta after flirtations with the White Girl. I read somewhere in some article that undecided voters break for the challenger but the truth is very few of the potential voters in the Box are undecided this time around. I checked with Figgy (who is very nice) about the last Commish election and Figgy looked into it for me and it turns out that there were way more undecided voters then because a lot of voters wanted to back the Spring Chicken but they thought maybe the Spring Chicken was a queer.  This is called a whispering campaign and it can make people ambivalent!!!!

So while it is still slightly likely that the Office of the Commish will change hands there is still a reasonably good chance it will not. Also voters are trending away from the White Girl maybe because Cat Head sucks. All this means that the White Girl needs to score a big Debate performance tonight to put this election on ice and send Da Oysta to the shucking factory once and for all!   

Okay on to the Social Media Optimized portion of the report!  Miss Moneypenny says we need to do this for the sweet sweet HITS and clicks so peepers please retweet:

FIVE THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN TONIGHTS DEBATE!!!!

1. Will Da Oysta be prepared?

Even supporters of Da Oysta will acknowledge that Da Oysta does not always do its homework and what's more will sometimes "hit the sauce." What version of Da Oysta will show up tomorrow? Campaign Manager Reynard has been training hard but with China as the debate moderator you know the ?s will come fast and furious and Da Oysta can't afford to fudge! Also the White Girl articulated a compelling personal story of overcoming the disadvantages of being a White Girl. Can Da Oysta come up with a personal story of its own or is it just a boring mollusk.

2. Will either candidate for Commish modify their position on the Draft?

The first year player Draft has become a real hot potato issue and our polling shows it has strong support in the Box. Da Oysta is dead set against it and this has become a political liability!  Will Da Oysta soften or is it a hard chitinous (sp?) character? Also according to the leaks from the big leaker (Baby Bird) at the White Power rally the goofy way the White Girl talked about the Draft offended Fellow. Will the "White Girl" tone down the self serving rhetoric or what!

3. Will any new political alliances be unveiled?

Because they could be!!! It was right at the White Power rally when the White Girl introduced Cat Head for Veep. As we said this was not as consequential as it seemed but what if either candidate pulled a rabbit out of the hat with an unexpected endorsement? Sources inside Fellow's hug suggest to us that Fellow may soon endorse the White Girl because everyone knows that Fellow thinks Da Oysta is dumb as a stone. Also if the Supreme Court could endorse somebody wow that would be big! Especially Figgy who is so handsome!!

4.  Will the White Girl keep things positive or will she GO NEGATIVE??

So far the White Girl has refused to respond to Da Oysta's attack ads which suggests a certain lack of spunk!  As the "front runner" she can afford to appear above the Frey but for how long? Already Da Oysta has accused her of being a synonym for false drugs. But there are oh so many skeletons in Da Oysta's closet like the time Da Oysta crashed the Oldsmobuick etcetera. Also will she bring up the plan to body slam the Bookworm that we learned about from the big leaker, Baby Bird. 

5.  What about Russian interference?

It is all the rage!  

Okay, can't wait for tonite!  OH BOY!!!!!!

Love,

Melinda your new friend (and Ms. Moneypenny too)
