After all, I’ve been quite unabashed in declaring that, even though far too little distinguishes the two political parties, I have more common cause with Democrats than with Republicans. More to the point, however, none of you reading any of my commentaries on this presidential campaign could have failed to grasp that I’m a fully committed supporter of Barack Obama!
Therefore, I’m not sure why you’d expect me to be commenting on the horse race among the Republicans.
You are wrong, however, to assert that I have “completely ignored” it. Because, in my January 9 commentary – following Hillary Clinton’s win in New Hampshire, I declared the following:
No matter who the Republican nominee is, he won’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell against either Obama or Hillary in November.
That said, I do think it’s noteworthy that Mitt Romney won in Michigan yesterday.
After all, he billed it as a do-or-die primary. And the shame of losing in his native state would have been surpassed only by the foolhardiness of spending over $40 million of his own money in such a vainglorious and futile venture. Although, I suspect this win will only delay and increase the cost of his foolhardiness….
NOTE: Henceforth, I shall limit all commentary on this presidential campaign to my new weekly “Obama-Day Tuesday” feature.
Republican presidential nomination
