Except of course for the disproportionate things that take place in Newyork and California. And then the 13 colony states have got extra history and heritage going for them.

Wasn't a lot of fun for me being born in Arid-zone-uh and living most of the time in Wishagin.

Is it sad that it was more entertaining when we, as a nation, were busy talking about Obama's penis instead of Trumps?

Yes because Obama never made a point of publicly making any statements about his dick.

Donald Trump is a dick.

Nebraska and Kansas didn't impress me all that much (at least in the sense that Bernie won by the margins prior months' polls more or less predicted), but I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised with Bernie's showing in Maine. He did considerably better than what few polls in Maine had suggested he would, which suggests Bernie may be cresting a bit in recent days.

...Unfortunately, though, it's all a moot point if Bernie continues to gradually improve with white voters, but his percentages with minorities remains stagnant. And if anything, as Louisiana's shown, Bernie's doing even worse than many critics had feared he'd do with the African American vote.

Hillary was also very smart strategically at the most recent debate, hitting Bernie on the auto bailout issue for the first time just before Michigan goes to vote. I feel like Bernie's struggled a bit with debates lately because he just keeps pivoting back to Wall Street. I get income inequality is his number one issue, but he's staggeringly consistent at driving back to it with just about every question that's thrown his way, and I find myself wishing he carved out a broader platform because Hillary knows exactly what to expect now. He needs to throw a few curveballs.

Did we watch the same debate? I thought it was Bernie's strongest showing yet.
