Spring Break
Wake me up when the real race starts

That is neither here nor there, however, I just didn't think it was breaking news or front-page material like all of the three-, four- and five-letter networks did.
To me, this overdrawn election prologue is all entertainment. I enjoy it. We all enjoy it.
But really, really, did we need to judge Edwards not on the content of his character but on the price of his haircut?
I guess when election coverage begins a year before the primaries, we'll bite at anything.
I believe there are two reasons for the early and often coverage of the '08 election.
The first reason is one we probably already know. We are a media-hungry people. We get updates on our BlackBerries and on our preset Google News homepages.
The second reason is that many of us have been waiting for Bush's exit since he took his second oath of office.
This is being hyped as one of the most important elections in American history.
Hmm. I wonder why.
I only hope that our over-eagerness will reflect at the polling booths.
Iowa's turnout surpassed that of elections passed, and I cross my fingers that Californians will show up in droves.
That is the news that I would like to hear.

Ummmm......No Ron Paul? Im sorry did he not just place 2nd in Nevada, did he not just beat Guliani in 4 of the first 5 states. Did he not defeat Thompson in 3 of the first 5 states. (Continued…)

Even though I'm a Republican myself, Michael, there's no hope for Ron Paul. Sorry.

My cat says he's a republican, too. Does that make it so?
You're a Huckabee supporter, aren't you, Garret? THAT'S not a republican.
Anyway, it is clear Rick is not very informed. (Continued…)

I understand how you are easily influenced by polling numbers and other media-released statistics, but I am very disappointed that one who carries the name Rand doesn't do more research for yourself. (Continued…)

Dr. Paul it seems, has just won the Louisiana Caucus as well...
Only Romney, McCain and Paul will be left after FL... I would absolutely NOT count out Ron Paul. (Continued…)

One can see what American presidential politics has become, even American politics as a whole: You're allowed to vote for the candidates chosen by big business, those who will implement policies favorable to them, whether it's in the public interest or not. (Continued…)
