2/3 - PRE-EMPTED for Super Bowl XLII followed by an episode of "House" (at least, that was the plan before the strike...)
2/10 - this has not been confirmed yet, but probably "Love,
Springfieldian Style" (which I assume is a trilogy episode
patterned around Valentine's Day)STUFF for "E Pluribus Wiggum" (KABF03) -------------------------------------- Written by Michael Price Directed by Michael Polcino Chalkboard: TEACHER DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH FOR HER CONDO Couch: A medieval tapestry shows how Les Simpsons recaptured their couch from Les Flanders after a pitched battle Special Guest Voice: Dan Rather, Jon Stewart Also Starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Akom TV Rating: TV-PG-LV

DYN ...the candidates with signs were Aleppo, Huntingchurch, Whinergirl, Vane, and Hillary? ...Hillary wasn't at the Democratic debate? ...Flanders supports Vane for President? (You can see the signs when everybody rushes to the "Undecided" Simpson house) ...there are 50 primaries? (If there are 51 states, including Springfield, then that's 50 primaries plus the Iowa Caucus) ...someone in the "Democrats for Wiggum" crowd had an "Undecideds for Wiggum" sign?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Primaries are at state level, not at city level; Mayor Quimby had about as much real authority to move the Springfield primary as Ralph has running for President. Wait a minute...
