National Anticlimax Day 2008

I’m just going to say it — Super Tuesday was a snooze. It’s more like Snooze-per Tuesday. That’s catchy, right?

Shut up.

I watched CNN for a few hours before deciding to cut my losses. Here are some of my reflections on the coverage.

• Did you see Mike Huckabee when he had his back to the camera? No hair! Bald like a baby! Not that I’m judging — I’m due to go completely bald sometime next month — but I just had no idea. He must be intricately coiffed before every single appearance.
• John King is a mesmerizing man to look at. Not in a swoony, dreamy way necessarily. But he just has this bone structure that looks like he should be a GI Joe villain and his eyes were all multiple layers of blue. Like he has seventeen irises.
• No matter how many times Wolf Blitzer calls his crew “the best political team on television,” no one is just going to take him at face value.
• It was really weird to hear things like “North Dakota will be carried by Barack Obama.”
• This was a lot of hoopla for a day that really decided nothing.
