The McCarville Report, an Oklahoma-based blog, put last Tuesday’s DC primary in perspective when he said this:
“The nation’s capital and its suburbs have a rare opportunity to help decide a presidential election rather than just obsess about it, as next Tuesday’s three-jurisdiction contest centers on Washington and its two neighbors.”
Obsessing? Is that what you call staying up until 3AM following the returns and then regurgitating it to the first person you see at work? Perhaps, but he’s also right about another thing, DC can have an impact. The city is the perfect battle ground for Obama and Clinton because it is as unique as a Democratic demographic comes: gay, straight, immigrant and southern Baptist, female power and collegiate – topped by some of the biggest pocket books in the country.
