Slublog @ Slublog: I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of having my choices limited by the voters of two states. It's time to fix the process and make it more representative. Voters in later primary states should have a chance to make some impact on the entire field of candidates, not just who is chosen by a small pool of voters.

Urban Dictionary's Word of the Day today is:
Electile Dysfunction: The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.
Usage
"Is anyone appealing to you in this years presidential race?"
"Naa... No one excites me. I think I'm suffering from Electile Dysfunction."
I thought it was quite timely and is just a little humor after last night's depressing events in Florida.

Speculation: Kate refers to a "he" wondering where she is when she meets Jack in the flash forward at the end of the third season finale. Show ▼
Sphere: Related ContentJohn McCain won the Florida GOP primary.
Damn.
So, what next? Well, barring some monumental shift towards Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday I expect that John McCain will be the GOP nominee for President of the United States. It gives me great pains to even consider that thought, much less come to the conclusion that it is really going to happen. I hope I am wrong. I want to be wrong. But the writing is clearly on the wall. And with the MSM salivating over John McCain and giving him a free pass to write his own script I don't think I am.
I have now made up my mind that I will be casting a write in vote for Fred Dalton Thompson in both the Texas primary and the general election. Texas won't be a swing state. It will support the Republican nominee. So, I have some comfort in knowing that my vote will not allow the Democrats to take control of the White House and abandon Iraq (the one and only issue that could have compelled me to consider voting for McShamnesty).
But I just cannot support John McCain for President of the United States. He is antithetical to nearly everything that I believe in. He does not represent Republican values. And he most certainly does not represent conservative values. His record as a United States Senator has made that abundantly clear.
So, I am voting for Fred!
Wake me in 2012. I hope I like the choices better in four years.

In Treatment [HBO]
I have been waiting to see this new series starring Gabriel Byrne since I first saw the description. Add Josh Charles (who I loved in Sports Night) and I was counting the days until In Treatment (11:15 PM CST) aired. It is a daily half-hour series that looks at the 5 patients (3 individuals and a married couple) that Byrne's psychoanalyst character is treating. And it also gives the doctor a turn on the couch with his own therapist.
Samantha Who? [ABC]
I will admit that I originally gave this show a shot because the lack of new episodes of the series I loved were on hiatus due to the writers' strike and because even a re-run of Samantha Who? (9:30 PM CST) is all new to me. But what I found was a cute, quirky show full of people I already loved on other series. Christina Applegate has incredible comedic timing. Who knew Kelly Bundy could be this funny? Jean Smart is perfection as her mother. And Sookie Dena is Sam's ever loyal friend. Samantha Who? has earned a spot on my primary TiVo's Season Pass list.
