SrtaJRosa Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ah, politics...it was only a matter of time for someone to bring it up in this town. Where is the best space with the most lively enthusiasts following the primary results, news, and action? Much as I like spending my free time watching the debates and cheering and yelling at my tv, I would find it more worthwhile to meet others who are just as passionate as I am regarding this election, and maybe sharing our views over a cocktail or two. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettashley01 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 hey, I'll meet you anywhere downtown with a TV... maybe Vidalia would show it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 any of the Hill staffer bars...Cap Lounge, Hawk & Dove etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookluvingbabe Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hawk and Dove, Tortilla Coast, maybe Mr. Henry's... I'd probably do the Hawk and Dove. Tortilla Coast tends to get a louder and smugger crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Ox Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd second the Hawk. Was at Cap. Lounge for the Iowa returns and it was my first time back since the smoking ban went into effect. Wow, that natural bar smell is not so good. I must be getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghan Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The gym! Plug in your headphones and feed on the madness. Go Huckleberry! Go Obama. It's a race, go, go,go! Quick!

Apples & Bananas Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was able to talk the folks at the Big Hunt in Dupont to turn their TVs to CNN last week for Iowa and my friends and I drew a pretty large crowd of interested people. So that might be an option if you're in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbh Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 For blue state people... Busboys and Poets would probably be a good spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfish Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 in the strange but true files... Millie & Al's in Adams Morgan always has a debate "party" for the debates after the conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The sooner you get off of the treadmill, the sooner you get to stop watching. I find that taking a sledgehammer to a television is just as good exercise, and much more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Riley Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Server: "Greeting, sir, it's Super Tuesday!" Old man, hard of hearing: "It's what?" Server: "Super Tuesday!" Old man: "What?" Server (shouting): "SUPER TUESDAY!" Old man: "Oh, thanks, I'll have the soup." (Ba-DUM-bump!) (Sorry, it's a terrible reworking of a mildly dirty joke.)

CajunJason Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The Park at 14th is having a Super Tuesday party, with CNN and Fox News Channel broadcasting live from the venue.

bioesq Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Karl Rove? Do they have menus in penitentiaries?From your mouth to G-d's ear. Here's the Rovian bill of fair. I was trying to think of the menu at that beer garden on Fenton Street in Silver Spring in the 60s, but that would have been too good for him.

I was trying to think of the menu at that beer garden on Fenton Street in Silver Spring in the 60s, but that would have been too good for him. I grew up in Silver Spring (Montgomery Blair '64) and the only beer garden on Fenton Street in the '60's was the American Legion Hall near Fenton and Sligo, off the public parking lot. The Quarry House, on Bonifant, is more than likely the suggestion; this was adjacent to the bowling alley which, then, had human pin setters. Serious. I almost killed several with my wild balls... Still, Karl Rove was in nursery school then...wailing and flailing as babies are want to do. ...I must apologize to those on this board. I am not the world's biggest fan of the Bush Administration.

ol_ironstomach Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Serious. I almost killed several with my wild balls... I hear that Rocks used almost exactly the same words to describe his last trip to CES/AEE, but figured he was just bragging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveDC Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (Self promo ahead...) I joined some friends last week for a primary watching party at the JW Marriott and they've decided to keep it going: read the details here. The Cuban pork sliders were really good.
