I love election days and have for as long as I can remember. Despite today being one of them, I’m not afraid to say that I’m having a difficult time getting interested in today’s results, with only a few minor exceptions. To say that the candidates running in the Republican primary are uninteresting is something of an understatement and even if the best of them prevails, they are unlikely to break the general Democratic dominance here in the PRM. I have my doubts that even the governor will be able to hold on through the general in November.
I’m contemplating some significant changes in my political philosophy, but that discussion is mainly ongoing and still a little too raw for public consumption. Suffice to say I am considering giving up a label that has identified me since I first became interested in politics. For some it’s a minor detail, a triviality, but for me, it’s a sea change. Stay tuned for more to follow.
