Get over yourself. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

and Hillary running is an equally historic moment, which she reminds us of just about every time she speaks before a crowd.

I guess, since you don't want anymore barrier breakers or historic moments you should vote for McCain.

Bye now.

"Why can't we just have a government that runs properly and elected officials that tell the truth?"

That'd be a historical moment in itself.

Our system works - it just requires a lot of time.  Checks and balances seems to have been a concept that has permeated our system to such a degree that this primary election is moving at a rate slower than a bill trying to make its way through Congress or a Supreme Court case decision.  However, democracy is a slow process, but in that slow steadiness, freedom is preserved.  I'm leery of the British and French governmental systems for their executive heavy tendencies, but I like our government - it just depends who's running it.

I do have Obama fatigue.  I admit it.  Yes I am a HRC supporter but I think there has been so much coverage of Obama - positive and negative - that it has taken away from the Obama mania a bit..except in the media.  

I think we're all tired.  I have to step away from it all more often than not.

A sensible diary in what has become an anything but sensible and loooong primary.

However, come on - a woman and a mixed race man.  That is a big deal even if it is....OMG only March.

We are finishing an 8 year dynasty where GWB and his unmerry men have just ruled. Today both Cheney and Bush came out and told the American people they were going to do it their way and public be damned.

Listen, if you want to be left alone, that's your right and god bless you. But I haven't seen a whole bunch of altruistic politicking in my lifetime. The Obama campaign is all about grass roots governing which is historic. It's also about transparency and I am fanatical about that concept because it leads to accountability.

P.S. Sorry to be so preachy.

we have another 4 weeks before penn, why not just take a three week vacation?  not the candidates, but us?  stop going to these sites, flip the news when it changes over to election 08, and stop watching cable news.  just a suggestion.

Good rant.  Yes.  The new beerability.

"And what is with this bizarre mania for "historic moments" and "historic candidacies?" Why can't we just have a government that runs properly and elected officials that tell the truth?"

Thank you, brother/sister.  My sentiments exactly.

I keep thinking that some of these people need to read a dramatic historical account, or go to an epic film, or attend a major music festival instead of looking for these feelings from a presidential election.

This is what I can't stomach the news. It's cartoonish. No one wants to talk about the real issues facing our country. We're in the middle of a recession and the media just could care less.

I'll be honest as an Obama supporter I'm a bit worried about this, and I think most honest Clinton supporters are too, what if in the following 5 weeks the tone keeps going downhill? What if the Obama speech, and Clinton's calls for economic justice, are ignored and instead the media plays up the horse race, already Clinton and Obama are far lower in favorability than either of them were last month (Hillary's negs ahavent risen but her faves ahave fallen nearly as dfast as Obama's I think he's up by like 5 there), all the while McCain's out looking "statesmanlike" (I don't think so, especially with yesterday's gaffe but outside of here were both Hill and BHO supporters tore him a new one, and in the canidates repsective speeches, its been ignored) his faves are already what 67%, even in the best case for Obama he knocks her out on 4/22, for Clinton she knocks him out 8/29, and by then our guys could be defined as petty unworthy's (especially since you know the GOP will play up the fact that a woman and a Black man just lack that "command stature" or whatever). Look at first I was all over the "et the process play out, it starves McCain of attention" meme, but now I'm scared that's a good thing, after all if he's out of sight he can't piss anyone off.
