I did enjoy him nailing Huckabee to the wall.

Actually maybe the old people who vote in droves will remember him.

It would be giving public funds to private charity though...

I'd like to see a recount but this isn't necessarily evidence of fraud. Correlation does not imply causation.

It's obviously satire. All the candidates' descriptions were comical, plus the name of the blog is "Jon Swift".
