Mee-shee-gan! (The Hangovers Continue.)

I've been busy the last few days, but nothing like a primary to bring me back to the blog.

HRC - running nominally unopposed - did not fare as well as she probably should have against 'Uncommitted' in Michigan last night. She still can't win youth, African-American or independent votes. If she makes it that far, the general election is going to be a veritable hell for those of us looking for anything besides a Repub. (Interesting note: Wolf Blitzer told everyone watching that the Democratic side of the primary didn't matter due to the fact that Michigan was stripped of its delegates for breaking party rules. Then that grinning, silver-bearded bastard and his team of demonic chatterboxes proceeded to analyze beejezus out of the situation anyway. Like me. But I'm just trying to keep irony alive, whereas they're patently evil.)

And speaking of Repubs... Are they going to manage to pick a nominee before their convention? It doesn't seem like they're terribly interested in doing so. The media keeps saying 'three states, three winners' but they keep forgetting about Romney's win in Wyoming. How dare they!? Four states, three winners. This doesn't make Romney the frontrunner (though he is far and away the leader in delegates), but I hope the Repubs rally around him. It would make any Democrat's way clearer in November, since it would be like running against Bush again.

It looks like the economy is going to loom large in the year with recession rearing its ugly head. My 401(k) is in agony. Will the 99% of us that don't benefit from Bush's tax cuts for the rich notice this and vote in our own best interests? Or will the so-called 'values voters' be convinced to shoot themselves in the wallet again because they are [ALERT: hyperbolic sweeping generalization for effect coming right up!] undereducated, bigoted, anti-choice homophobes who are getting Rapture Ready? If I had the money, I'd bet on all that.

Oops. My cynicism is showing. Politics. Too many narcissistic power-mongers trying to make the world in their own poll-tested image. I'd try and refrain from commenting on it, but it's too much fun.
