"Super Tuesday" followed through like I thought it might. It sorted out the Republicans and stretched the Democrats. That's about all it did, if you ask me.
Although journalists may be busy snaking through the countryside to interview those who are showing up at the polls, it seems to me that they must not be interviewing the voters post-hype. Talk around the city, whether I've heard it in Starbucks, classrooms, or my dining room table, shows that voters might have showed up, but in turn, they've "shut up." With such a twisting race between the candidates, the election seems to have turned into more of a sit-down-in-the-rusty-bleachers spectator sport than a go-get-'em fight to the death. It seems that the three prevailing candidates are providing enough unfolding narrative themselves without your average supporter needing to do much other than think, "Well, it'll be interesting to see who wins." A seat-warming event for sure.
So, Poll Officials, break out the popcorn makers and pass the salt. We don't want to miss this one.
