Is Super Tuesday Really all that Super?

Do I even need to type anything in this post? Ok, so round abouts half of the delegates to select each party’s candidate for president is up for grabs on 2/5. My state (of Colorado) is one of them; honestly I haven’t heard jack about it on either side. As a disclaimer I refuse to watch network television anymore because it is all shows about either sex, money, drugs, or crime; usually a combination of at least 2 of those. But I listen to the radio in my car, and I hear nothing. What’s more is that my city (being Denver) is hosting the damned DNC this year, and nobody is campaigning here.

Maybe I should say, “does that fact that someone comes here to campaign actually matter to me?” to which the answer is “probably not”. I don’t base my vote on who arrives at their pep rally closest to my house first. While I am a registered democrat, I really could give a rat’s ass about which party I vote for. I’m going to vote for the person with whom I can most directly identify my priorities as their priorities; right now that isn’t anyone because no one is campaigning in Colorado. Our 9 votes aren’t worth jack even though this state is always very close to 50/50 in partisan races.

So, is it really super Tuesday? Or is it just another “wake up and go to work but take 15 90 minutes off to go vote” Tuesday?
