Wherein I talk about the elections

[Colonel Flagg]

Well.....

I'm not so sure that it is a bad thing that there is so much infighting and wordsmithing and rhetoric between the two candidates. I think that is as much a product of the campaigns and the party organization as it is in the fact that half the country had either a primary or a caucus on "Super Tuesday". All the politics was crunched into two mind-numbing coma-inducing elections - one Red and one Blue.

So yes, there were some things said, and some things better left unsaid, but that's campaigning in the 21st century. One slip of the tongue and you're all over the blogs and youtube. Instant media coverage.

As my state is one of the few that didn't reschedule its primary (not for lack of trying) we have somehow gone from being irrelevant at this stage in the electoral process to a "big ticket item"! Both Dems are all over us campaigning their hearts out, and truth be told, I haven't seen or heard of much negativism of late. You'd think it would be flying fast and furious, but it just doesn't seem to be the case.

This makes me think that (hopefully) cooler heads are starting to prevail. Neither candidate will have the nomination "sewed up" by the time Denver rolls around, so rather than duke it out amonst themselves, focus on the real enemy that is the current administration, and the candidate it supports in November. (Far more likely than the "back room deals" that some people are not so silently hoping for.)

Just my 3 cents back from a nickel.
