Today's Political Comment

Tomorrow, the Iowa Caucases will bestow their approval on Donald, Ted or Marco, and then Bernie or Hillary. A dispassionate look at this ritual — often won in the past by candidates whose campaigns went nowhere — would suggest that it's all pretty meaningless. But all of us, no matter what party we favor, are so eager to get this mutant election over with, we're going to attach way too much significance to the results.

I don't particularly care who wins. I guess I'd like to see Martin O'Malley get the Democratic win and Rick Santorum win on the Republican side. Just to shake things up.
