It would be cool if they accidently sent up white smoke.

Not surprising. The 115 Cardinals would hardly have had
time to unpack their personal belongings in their newly
built "residence hall" had they come to an agreement
today! I'm betting on Thursday. Front runners aside,
they have to give at least the appearance of deep
meditation on an issue that affect over a billion people!

I bet the news outlets have been salivating over this chimney smoke thing for quite awhile now.

If the smoke stays black, send the Cardinals back!

If da hat fit, you must vote for it!
To: AbeKrieger
Would that make this Bush's fault?
Are any cardinals being disenfranchised by confusing ballots, bad weather or otherwise stupidity that would complicate their voting process?
Are Republicans telling some cardinals not to vote today?
Are Republicans using dogs and water hoses to keep cardinals away?

They found several of the Cardinals had inadvertantly voted for Pat Buchanan.
