You’ve survived Wing Bowl, that annual excess of eating that precedes the Super Bowl.
And we managed to actually make it through the big game itself, having suffered through a four-hour pre-game show. That’s right, the pre-game hype now actually lasts longer than the game does.
Now comes Super Tuesday, what amounts to a Super Bowl of voting.
People in 24 states will trudge to the polls today in the biggest primary day in U.S. history. Among them will be voters in New Jersey and Delaware.
Not getting a chance to vote for either Hillary or Obama, or McCain or Romney, will be the good citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We’ll still be sitting on the sidelines.
That’s because our primary is not even yet a glimmer on the horizon. The Pennsylvania Primary takes place April 22. Not much is likely to still be in doubt by then, although the Democratic tussle between senators Clinton and Obama may still be raging.
In the meantime, much like our sports teams, we have no dog in this fight today.
We’ll have to be content to sit on the sidelines and take in the action.
And yes, the hype will be every bit as over-the-top as anything we saw on Sunday. As will the instant analysis.
We can only hope the commercials are better.
