Voltron: Brannon’s Behind Late In Game

Voltron: (Jim Brannon's) in trouble. His team is down four touchdowns with less than five minutes to play in the fourth quarter. His starting quarterback (Starr Kelso) has been pummelled and is throwing more interceptions than I can count. His offensive coordinator Larry Spencer is busy looking on the internet for updates on other games while giggling about his fantasy team doing well. His cheerleaders (Joy Seward) has been kicked out of the game for inappropriate behavior and his defensive coordinator (Dan Gookin) is in the fetal position rocking back and forth sucking his thumb. Apparently, he doesn't like it when the other team scores points. Middle linebacker Mary Souza is screaming at the umpires to get a call right — unfortunately she's watching a replay of the Boise State-Virginia Tech game on the sidelines. Full comment here.

Question: Judge Charles Hosack closed the evidence portion of the Brannon Election Trial shortly after 4 p.m. Friday after a week in which Brannon had gained only 1 of the 5 votes he needed for a tie. Does Brannon have a Hail Mary pass in his arsenal to win this case?
