Thank You New Hampshire

Clinton and McCain, outstanding. Now, I have some requests for Nevada and South Carolina. If it's at all possible, I would love to see Bill Richardson win in Nevada. And then in South Carolina I think it would be peachy if an Edwards/Romney result could be arranged.

Anarchy, turmoil, you know a campaign.

I have a dream, and that dream is that the people running the newsrooms in America will remember that they have a real part in this process and that part isn't a drumbeat to coronate the early winner. Three or four different winners in the first three or four contests would really be good for this country. It would shake up media coverage, contributions, advertising; and it would make some of the votes in the later states actually have a real bearing on who gets to run in November.

It just should never have become about who has the most money in Iowa and New Hampshire, and thankfully this time around it really isn't. (I think I read somewhere that Romney wound up spending north of $10,000 per vote cast in the Iowa caucus. He probably could have really bought the vote with half that if he'd found a way to put that money in voters hands or to direct benefit of their community instead of putting it into the coffers of TV and Radio stations.)

The more bizarre it is the more people will actually have to listen to what these people are actually saying, look at the records of what they've actually done, and maybe look at the cast of characters around each candidate - the last thing we need is another legion of doom like we've had lately: Cheney, Rove, Addington, Libby, Gonzoles, Miers, Luthor, Bizarro, Mr. Freeze...

And then, if Giuliani could somehow win in Florida - DOGS AND CATS SLEEPING TOGETHER!!!

If only.
