the primaries
Is it just me or have politics suddenly become interesting?
I sat up til 1am watching the New Hampshire primary last night. I have no idea what so every about primaries, what they are, or how they work. I don't even live in the country.
I blame three things. I've never really gotten over The West Wing ending, on some level I think the candidates are characters in the show. By the way, if I was on the show I would be CJ Cregg. The writers strike. There is nothing else to watch. Anderson Cooper. He can make anything sexy.
I am not endorsing an candidates as yet, even if they are on Oprah's favourite things list. At the moment they all seem better than what you currently got.

Very true!
Whoever takes over has QUITE the mess to clean up. In the meantime, I will be anxiously awaiting your endorsement.

I heart West Wing.

You mean "no idea what so ever".
If I were American, I'd be voting for Bananarama or Hillsie - whoever is the Democratic candidate.

I too have taken an interest in the primaries. I have however, decided if Weepy Hillary, or Osama Obama get into the White House I am leaving the country.

It's actually the caucus which happens before the primary. The caucus is just to vet out a candidate for each party. I think the reason it is so big this time is there is no incumbent and no clear front runner in either party. Or maybe it's that Iowa was so dazzling for the first caucus that everyone is interesting?

I saw a sign at the RnR AZ marathon. It said, "I thought Obama was running?"
