an eventful week..

in the world of politics.

have not spoken with my mom. she is probably bummed on many accounts. her man dropped out of the race. in addition, last nights speech probably has her on a rampage. my bet is she refused to listen to it. she really has taken a distinct disliking to bush.

i guess i think kerry will make the race more competitive and therefore- more interesting as well.

i listened to the speech last night. i thought it was ok.

can i just say that i really like the fact that our election system includes caucuses? i think it's important that there be a discourse. not only between tim russert and a political candidate; but between a common citizen and the political candidate.

there's an interesting european perspective to read here. i really like this publication. if i made more money- i would make it a subscription. there is a link w/in the economist article to learn more about the primary process. in addition, you can click here if your interested in reading more about the history.
