Primarily Speaking
Most of us have been dumped at some point in our lives. (For me, it’s enough points to form a connect-the-dot picture of Mt. Rushmore.) Many times it happens without warning and you’re not really sure why it happened. You think, “I wish I had someone to warn me when my girlfriend was about to rip out my heart and play kickball with it.”
Well, today that someone is me. And that girlfriend/boyfriend that is about to dump you is Hillary and Obama. Despite their delegate fed love affair with Indiana the past few weeks, at 6pm you’re going to get dumped. Think of it as the guy/girl who only dated you because your parents had Colts tickets. After the game, you got punted. And, that’s what is going to happen to Hoosiers tonight. We’ll get punted for other states with other delegates.
You see, the quirkiness of our primary system made Indiana relevant —for a while. Even without a horse in the race, staunch Republicans, Libertarians, and independents seemed to get a little intoxicated by the media attention.
But, don’t despair. Did you really want those two hanging around the state much longer anyway? I didn’t think so.
Carry on, Citizens!
