Today's Political Comment

Bernie Sanders is currently polling higher in Iowa than anyone seeking the Republican nomination.

I don't think that means he has a real shot at the presidency. I mean, being one of two or three candidates is a lot more advantageous position than being one of around ninety. It may just be a function of how many people in Iowa are leery of Hillary Clinton. I do think though it means that Sanders deserves a lot more press coverage and attention than he's gotten.

Of course, today no one who's running for president is getting anywhere near as much press coverage and attention than Caitlyn Jenner. You know, I admire Mr./Ms. Jenner's courage in some ways but I recall when someone else who had a gender conversion said something like, "My goal in going public with this is to help move America to the day when no one will care about this kind of thing." Well, just speaking for myself, I'm already there.
