Super Tuesday eve

Across the country, people will go to primaries and caucuses tomorrow to make a statement. We will probably know the name of the next Republican nominee for President tomorrow night and we’ll know a lot more about the state of the Democratic race.

Regular readers know I’m pretty fond of Barack Obama and, to a lesser extent, John McCain around here. I have reasons, such as my desire for a transcendental presidency with a new team of experts and thinkers, better global diplomacy and inspiring Generations X and Y in a way previously thought to be impossible (in Obama’s case). But the most important thing is that you go out, research your issues and the candidates and make your own decision.

Here in Minnesota, you need to arrive at your caucus location sometime around 6:30. Presidential voting begins sharply at 7 p.m. It is more like a meeting than a traditional election, but you get to vote by paper ballot and every caucus I’ve ever been to has been very friendly to newcomers. To find your caucus location, go to http://www.dfl.org/ for Democratic sites and to http://www.mngop.org/ for Republican sites. If you don’t live in Minnesota search for your state’s secretary of state website and find out there.

  1. “transcendental presidency “, what the heck is that?
    C.O.

  2. A presidency that fundamentally changes the way things operate from the way they are now. I see the last 10 years as an historical rut — lots of arguing, posturing, division — that we need to get out of. To do so, you need someone who can build a new coalition. That’s the whole reason I’ve liked Obama and recommended McCain to Republicans; I think those two might actually change the way the debates of our time are framed into something much more productive than we’ve seen from the last two administrations.
