I have never read so much written about the manufactured outrage of the day, and the bile being spewed, while real problems aren’t getting talked about, much less, solved.

Well, Oregon gets a say this year, along with a lot of other states that never mattered before, and that is a good thing and the best way of solving the problem of front-loading the primary season. If the votes have meaning, no matter when they are cast, there’s no reason to go first.

If this had been handled in a more adult fashion, it would have helped to build the Democratic Party and energized people to vote, but that’s not the way it will turn out.

The Florida Republicans have a lot of nasty amendments scheduled for the November ballot and people need to vote against them, but, alas, that is unlikely to happen.

…it’s passably odd, when a body actually thinks about it for a minute, that there is all this talk about how the brutally vicious behaviour of the Democratic candidates (primarily, according to “The Wise Observations Of The Knowing”, Hillary Clinton) threaten to bring all of our hopes and dreams of recapturing the White House crashing down around our heads because of sectarian infighting. The activities most damaging to the eventual nominee’s chances in November don’t seem to be coming from the candidates or their campaigns, but rather seem to be a product of the actions of self-important third parties, ‘fanboys’, and supposedly ‘independent’ observers who have picked sides…

Ol’ Will was more right than he suspected when he said that he wasn’t a member of any organized political party…
