On CNN, Wolf Blitzer was rubbing his hands with glee. We’re going into Iowa with no clear winners. On either ticket. Oh, boy. Big time horse race in this state. Big fun for the news dudes.
And big fun for geeks like me.
Gail Collins is annoyed with all this attention on this tiny state.
People, ignore whatever happens here. The identity of the next leader
of the most powerful nation in the world is not supposed to depend on
the opinion of one small state. Let alone the sliver of that state with
the leisure and physical capacity to make a personal appearance tonight
at a local caucus that begins at precisely 7
o’clock. Let alone the tiny slice of the small sliver willing to take
part in a process that involves standing up in public to show a
political preference, while being lobbied and nagged by neighbors.
