It’s 3:00am and I’m sick of politics

by libbyi woke up today with mixed emotions. to be honest, i was hoping obama would tempest hillary away last night. not because of any consequential enthusiasm in compensation obama but because he is already winning the pass over race and i just wanted this to be over so we could go second to fighting the gop a substitute alternatively of fighting each other. i wanted obama to win because the way i catch sight of it, hillary eked out her victories based on fearmongering and republican incline dirty tricks and i don’t want those to come up with anymore. it troubles me greatly that they did. but alas, rush gets his fancy and the self-governing bloodbath appears predestined to persist on its path of internecine destruction all the way to denver. at this point all i’m hoping for is that the party will emerge more or less whole and that the old saw force establish faithful — what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. maybe it’s good that we do our own bloodletting instead of allowing the gop to slice us up early. perhaps it will be better if the candidates hurl the slings and arrows at each other now, if only to bargain the gop’s ammo in the general. it’s still a long way to november and today’s scandals leave be long forgotten by then. one can hope the media will continue to happily wallow in horserace coverage and the anecdotal intent center on democrats, rather than simply swallowing and regurgitating the gop talking points into the news cycle. that would be one small plus. the only truly auspicious spot i see this morning is the freakish turnouts. the prolonged rivalry has put long ignored states into play and the electorate finally perceives voting as something that matters. but even that is clouded by the commotion at the polls. the system is geared to apathy. it wasn’t prepared to act with active and abundant householder participation. this is a problem that needs to be solved well in preference to november and securely this is one issue we can all coalesce around regardless of which candidate we support. at least i ambition so.
