   As the Democratic nominee race has gone on, and on, and ( yawn ) on, I have continually lost interest in it. Not because I don’t care, really, but ….. ok, I guess I really don’t care. It’s been called “historical” and “memorable”, and states that we forgot even existed are having primaries.

   It brings you into contact with people and industries you might never expect to be involved in.

   It gives you a sense of creation and accomplishment.

   It can also be a total pain in the ass.
