The Sunshine Empire

The polls are closed and the results are in, and my percent prediction was wrong. 55-45 was the margin tonight, but my underlying point remains. This changes nothing. Obama has a good shot at winning Indiana and will win North Carolina with no troubles. The same refrains about how this will kill the Democratic Party’s chances in November will be the pap-de-jour on the political show circuit in the coming week, but the saving grace is we don’t have to wait 17 months for the next batch of primaries. But those I fear will decide nothing. Like a baseball game scoreless in the 17th inning, you are enjoying a legendary pitching duel and a game of historic length, but damned if you don’t have to go to work tomorrow and they’ve stopped selling beer. This is what this election is becoming.

This would be the time to advocate what Florida Senator Bill Nelson has and compact these things into four super dates to decide the nominee of both parties. Yet I’m starting to think that the states would be in a worse recession if not for the infrastructure of campaign cash and reporter and cable news campaign bus upkeep that needs to be in place for months at time in these big states. Jon King and that slimy sub-human Carl Cameron demand high quality goods and services that the good peoples of Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas can only provide. Now some diner in the middle of Indiana will be waiting joyfully for the arrival of that John Roberts remote.
