Finally, another primary is almost history and Blog-o-rama believes it would have been better to have had a primary in Connecticut THIS month, as opposed to Super Tuesday in February.
As much as the Blogster hates seeing TV get political advertising, an April primary really would have made us prominent way beyond out 60 measly Democratic delegates.
Granted Sen. John McCain would have been less relevant, but the whole political horserace this year has been mostly about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Plus, if the Connecticut primary were held during April, Connecticut reporters would have been able to go to school on the Washington testimony on the Iraqi War.
We could have been position to ask Obama and Clinton on their vision for the length of time they estimate the U.S. military bases will have to remain in Iraq, even as they try to position themselves as the anti-war candidates.The national press corps seems to keep its focus on month-old slips of the tongue, faulty memories and divisive background noise.
