I laugh at the part when they describe "the president elect, with confident smile and kind eyes..." but also enjoy the scene where the guy is working and looks over at his plate for inspiration. I also like the fact that 27 electoral votes are "undetermined" because they didn't wait for Missouri and North Carolina results to come in. Lots of hilarity, but except for scale nothing new. It happens every election. <img src="http://www.usmint.gov/images/consumer/middlebush.jpg"> I love that commercial, but it’s hard to pick a best part.
