So the Fish household will be having a big Election Night blowout…looking for ideas for fun party games. I have only found a few fairly lame drinking games on the internet (drink when someone says “maverick” or “socialist”, etc). Hoping someone out there in SDMB land has some more clever suggestions. ---

Drink until it doesn’t hurt any more. ---

Get a giant map of the United States and play “pin the electoral tail on the donkey.” Blindfold everyone and have them stick red and blue pins until you have one in each state. See how the total matches up to the actual count. Have a dress-up for the family members to model Obama, McCain, Palin and Biden wardrobes. At the beginning of the evening have everyone write down the time the networks call the election. Give the winner a fabulous prize.
