I’m right there with you in the shallow end, Bo – I only barely know who he is, too.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the idea that the ACTUAL PRIMARY isn’t for another YEAR! A YEAR, People! 365 days, give or take. I’m burned out already! By the time November 2008 comes around, I may seriously consider defecting to England or something. Oh, or maybe Hawaii – no one campaigns out there, right?
