OK...a game to be played on election night (duh), and involving lots of drinking (double-duh).

Proposed rules - please feel free to add/modify:

1. InternationalDrinkingRules shall apply! :)

2. All parties present shall select a "random issue" from the DrinkingHat. Whenever that issue is mentioned during commentary, the party assigned that issue must consume.

3. All parties shall be assigned a political figure, as above.

4. The first person to consume by the rules above shall don the DrinkingHat. Thereafter, the wearer of the DrinkingHat shall consume for his own sins, and also those of the other parties! The DrinkingHat may pass by consensus to anyone failing to consume for their sins who is called for this by any other player. It may also pass for violations of the following special rules.

5. If WinstonPeters appears onscreen, all present must perform the "speak no evil" sign. Last to do so gets the DrinkingHat.

6. If JimAnderton appears onscreen, all present must perform the "see no evil" sign. Last to do so gets the DrinkingHat.

5. If LailaHarre appears onscreen, all present must perform the "hear no evil" sign. Last to do so gets the DrinkingHat.

8. If NandorTanczos appears onscreen, all present must "toke up". Last to do so gets the DrinkingHat.
