WOOHOO! According to a Gallup poll, if the election were held today, John Kerry would comfortably beat Bush and John Edwards would also beat him (though by a smaller margin). That's what I needed to hear. For sure, there is a long way to go...There is a lot of time until November and the Republicans have a shitload of cash to burn on trashing our nominee. Not to mention anything can happen and we just can't foresee or plan for it...I do believe, though, that the momentum is in our favor and Bush is just one big fuckup and if anyone can screw things up he can...I think he used up all his daddy favors...no Supreme Court will appoint him to his second term! I still like Clark...he's a good guy with a unifying ability, I believe. He is an asset to our party. But I am happy to jump on the Kerry bandwagon, as soon as it's the only wagon left (but not sooner). I do like him...and I have the loyalty thing going, seeing as he was my former employer and was also responsible for me getting my first job out of college. But I am going to wait...until he is the nominee. And if it isn't him...I will back whoever it is. Because at this point I would be happy with any of the three real contendersn- Clark, Kerry or Edwards...

Sadly, the excitement of what is shaping up to be a fantastic Democratic primary race is tempered by the seemingly ceaseless media whoredom!! John Kerry won five of seven states today (good for him!) and the talking heads on CNN were acting as if there were three winners tonight - Kerry, Clark (won one state) and Edwards (also one won state - his home state!)...I mean, I love Clark and I like Edwards. I am psyched they both did well in the one state (each) that they needed to do well in. But come on...Kerry won five states out of seven, by wide, comfortable margins. And he did this just one month after he was all but pronounced dead by those in the (pretend to) know. So give the guy his due.

This is a great story.

Big day for the primaries is coming...can JFK (the 2004 version) go seven for seven?

The blog, as it turns out, is only a moderately fulfilling expression device for me. I think it's because I am aware that other people are reading it...I always suspected I would be able to write for an audience without being inhibited by the audience (I am not inhibited by much as it is!). But I am finding it harder and harder to do so. And so I wonder if time for blogging has come to an end...and I wonder if this means I will not be able to be a successful writer some day because of this new self-counsciousness?
