Post Primary Hangover?
Now, just to be clear, I'm not talking about an alcohol-induced hangover, because this is a family blog. But I am feeling a sense of sadness and lack of motivation now that the madness (whoa, I rhymed) is over. Things happened so fast and furiously for the last three weeks; and poof, it's gone. Anyone else falling into the same malaise?
Sure, we can be excited about the fact that this Democratic nominating contest continues; which means we have much intrigue ahead of us. But the questions here in Texas have largely been answered*, and I won't be hanging out with Jesse Jackson anymore.
I will also miss seeing my journalist crush, Newsweek's Richard Wolffe at random rallies. Shout out to you, Richard! I love you man!
*Well, except for Travis County D.A., which has gone into a runoff (Rosemary Lehmberg v Mindy Montford).
All us political junkies feel that, although I'm still so busy blogging results that it hasn't set in for me yet.
But fear not — in addition to Montford vs. Lehmberg, city council elections are coming! You'll get another fix in May. Of course, City Council Place 1 will seem like weak methadone after following Clinton vs. Obama.
With all of the action going on with the presidential race there was little, if any, coverage of local races and ballot issues. I also wonder if all of the Republicans left town. The only mention I've heard of is that guy. Oh, what's his name? Oh, yah. John McCain. Isn't he the guy from those Die Hard movies?
