The slate of candidates this election cycle are so universally and appallingly dismal that it seems appropriate that Super Tuesday is followed immediately by 40 days of Lent, allowing us all to repent and ponder on the fact that we can't find anybody better than Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, and Mitt Romney to run for President.
If this is truly the best we have to offer, then we deserve everything we're going to get.
And yes, I voted. There's always somebody you want to vote against.
The news on the local front looks a little bit better. John Owings appears to be losing, based on the early voting. He had the balls to run as "the most experienced candidate." John, in the future, when your "experience" includes having your opinions overturned more times than the pancakes at an all night IHOP, you probably don't want to make that the centerpiece of your campaign.
Scott Moore looks to be losing the clerk's race, which means we get 2 more years with him on the County Commission. At least we won't run out of things to write about with him around.
