KPEL’s Official Political National Convention Drinking Game
The 2012 Republican and Democratic National Conventions are right around the corner. As both parties appear to have already selected their candidates for the upcoming election, the conventions will likely serve as an extended campaign commercial for each party's respective candidates.

The following is a guide to making the painful political double talk watchable. It's KPEL 96.5's Official Political National Convention Drinking Game. Enjoy responsibly.
