Thought Sausage

Today's schedule was pretty full. Early morning crossfit (as per the routine Monday through Thursday), then work (tending to said urgent matters from yesterday mostly) till roundabouts 6:30. I would have been home earlier except the chain on Bertha finally bit the dust, causing me to walk a mile or so home. I guess I can't complain...it survived two winters and countless rains with me not oiling it all but maybe 2-3 times. Then we had a pretty solid workout tonight, which was fun considering Chicago's weather gods decided to whip out a flash blizzard...nothin like sitting in a car after spending 2 hours in chlorine water to keep your windows perpetually fogged up. Come home, see that McCain took Florida, work on some drum tracks for a few riffs I've been tinkering with for a few hours till midnight, read up on what all went down in Florida's primary today, then type blog. In other words...this is why I'm the last person to talk about what good sitcoms and/or other primetime tele is on during the week.

But...what of that McCain victory? Must be a registered Republican to vote today...and he STILL edged out Romney (and kicked Huck's ass). Furthermore, the exit polls say the economy was far more of a concern to voters than the war in Iraq. And McCain STILL beat Romney (granted by a smidge). Things that ya go hmmm. The smart money seems to be saying this cements McCain as the guy to beat. Drew says I'm being presumptuous in calling McCain the Republican candidate...but I think as long as the pundits keep calling him the man who can beat Hillary or Obama, then, as fuckin' wacky as they are, the Conservative right is gonna line up for him. Plus now that Guiliani has announced he's going to endorse McCain, it may go to really push him next Tuesday (which is where Rudy has supposedly been spending all his time).

Hillary took the democrat side, but nobody cares since there were no delegates. Yawn.
