I'm on a deadline so I'm only about 30% watching the returns for today's primary elections. But it seems to me like the big losers are Mitt Romney and an awful lot of pollsters. Many of the latter missed by so far, they oughta do the decent thing and get into some other line of work…preferably something where being able to predict is not important. Like, maybe, making those announcements at the airport about when my flight is going to board.
Also, it seems to me like John McCain is showing an awful lot of his strength in states which he's not going to win in November, no matter what. In fact, everyone on TV is making way too big a deal about how a strong performance by a candidate in a given state is a good sign for him or her to prevail there in the general election. News flash: In the general election, they let people of other parties vote, too…maybe not in Florida but in most states.
Back to my deadline. Oh, yeah: I was only on the picket line for a brief time today before I got called to go tend to a minor emergency (nothing you'd want to know about) but the mood out there was good and also very, very curious about where we stand.
Okay, now back to my deadline.
