No matter who you support, you gotta be excited about these primaries. |
|
These are the most exciting primaries I've seen in my whole entire life. Before the candidate was always chosen after the first three primary states. Super Tuesday was basically a "confirmation" vote, not a real fighting battle vote. Now it's still completely up in the air. Obama has got a big boost from SC (despite the racist overtones people here will try to invoke).
Even if this goes to a brokered convention (which is very possible), I won't be too upset over it, though I would prefer a clear winner before Denver.
BEST PRIMARY SEASON EVER

4. Oh, no, don't you understand the rules? You CAN'T say things like that around here; you |
|
have to say ugly things about the candidate you don't like, and call that candidate's supporters all kind of horrible names...

5. Most moving speech I've heard since the sixties. |
|
Obama was in the zone. He really moved me. I'm still with Edwards, but now I'm finding myself just hoping that Obama will pick him as his VP.

6. I love to see record numbers of Dems getting out a voting |
|
And that's what is happening. Dems are involved and enthusiastic about their candidates. On the rethug side, not so much...

If there is this sort of enthusiasm in November, the Dems could clean up very well.

As the leaders shift back and forth, I keep trying on the sound of "President Obama" and "President Hillary Clinton," imagining how it would sound spoken routinely on the evening news - and, with much wishful thinking, also "President Edwards." I think we'll still see a lot of 1st, 2nd, and maybe even 3rd place reversals, and the end result will be very close.
I suppose the same is true this year on the rethug side, but I don't really care which of them is in the lead at any given moment; one is as bad as the next, and any one of their candidates would/will lose to any one of ours.
