Default Election Bingo
Here is something that everyone, regardless of how they intend to vote, can play for the weekend.

We are going to gather 75 catch phrases, representing the 75 numbers in a bingo card. Anyone that wants to play will be given a card (I will post them all on my website.)

As the "caller", I will announce when I have heard one of these catch phrases (and I will be following closely this weekend). I will update the website regularly and you can see how your game is unfolding!

Considering how many times these politicians repeat themselves, we should be able to get a blackout in no time, at which point, we play another game!!

This could be fun (and lighten up the board a bit....)

Sooooooo, first thing is first... we need 75 catch phrases. For these, you need a sound bite, and by whom. It is not important whether you believe it will be said often or not (but be realistic), or whether you believe it or not. If there are more than 75 before I release first bingo cards, then I will choose the 75 in play. Again this is simply for fun!! Winner gets screwed by the next government just like we all normally do anyway.....

I will start with:

"extreme right wing" - Martin

Here are some others...

"accountability" - Harper
"wrong" - Layton
"corruption" - Harper
"budget" - Layton
"our record" - Martin
"Broadbent" - Layton

BTW, the middle free square is...

nothing - Anders

"Hidden agenda", Martin
"gun crime", anyone
"scary", Martin
"baaaaa", Ontario

edit: no idea why I put those to as being possible Harper statements when I meant them as Martin statements.

I don't know about you folks, but if ANYTHING, this is hilarious. Obviously a variation on the business meeting bingo thingy, but nonetheless..

Another is...
"Notwithstanding Clause" - all three federalists.

"Muzzle" or "Muzzled" likely from Martin

From any of them:
Do you have "landslide" yet?
"dirty tricks"
"backroom" or "backdoor politics"
"broker a deal" (this one might just be for the media if a minority is in the cards)
"my fellow Canadians"
"today is a great day for Canada"
"polls"

Harper will say one of these things...

"last ditch effort"
"grasping at straws"
"last gasp"
and maybe "down with the ship".
