Presidential politics

Is my calendar correct …. we are still in 2011? I am reading all these news stories about how the next 10 days will decide who the Republican nominee will be … when not even the first election has been held, much less the convention … and the presidential election isn’t for another 11 months.

Somebody needs to yank the chains of the national news media.

A. Public opinion polls do not decide primary elections … or at least they shouldn’t.

B. Please stop the horse race crap … and let the people decide and then report the results … gee, that would be novel reporting … rather than  hyperventilating over the latest poll numbers or the latest gaffe or the most recent scintillating tidbit that really has no bearing on anything.
