I can't remember when the primaries were so hotly contested. I guess since the candidate from each party usually seems so early annointed, I never paid much attention to how messed up the primary voting systems are.
If nothing else, this season has given us a glimpse into the mess that we otherwise might have missed. It may be depressing, but it's educational.
But oh do I love the irony of all those states that wet themselves trying to be first, when for the first time it turns out to be the last states that matter. Tee and Hee.
