As the Democratic primaries are sweeping the nation (that makes it sound like a plague, a trend, or an uprising of housewives) I’ve decided to finally break my non-public vow of primary celibacy. This won’t be a long post, but hopefully the comment thread will be interesting.<\/p>\n
I know that a lot of you, most of you, like me, still have the primaries ahead of them. I’m also pretty sure that there’s at least one or two of you out there who, like me, haven’t been following the tracking polls, columns, stump speeches, and petty pissing fights that have bogged down some of the blogs. So maybe you haven’t gotten a chance to read some articulate, intelligent appraisals of the candidates.<\/p>\n
Since I know that Alas has a readership consisting entirely of people capable of making articulate, intelligent statements, I’d like to invite anyone who is willing to post a bit about their thoughts on the candidates. Which candidate are you supporting and why? Which candidate are you actively not supporting and why? Are you going to vote in the primary or are you going to sit this one out? Are you going to be voting in the general election? (Just to be clear, though, if you want to comment that you won’t be voting for Mr. Clark because he sounds like George W. Bush, that’s okay, too.)<\/p>\n
I’ll be posting my own thoughts in the comments section once I’ve had some sleep.<\/p>\n
(Oh! I just remembered… Thanks, John Isbell, for the lovely letter about Mr. Kerry you wrote me a few months ago. I forgot to write you a thank you note, so consider this a thank you and an effort to make sure everyone knows what a sweetheart you are.)<\/i>.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the Democratic primaries are sweeping the nation (that makes it sound like a plague, a trend, or an uprising of housewives) I’ve decided to finally break my non-public vow of primary celibacy.
