Candi-date

Well, until today the presidential candidates have pretty much ignored us Northwesterners out here in the political boondocks. But we Washingtonians are feeling like somebody's darling right now. We've seen our first t.v. ads for this year's campaign. Clinton, Obama, McCain, and Huckabee's wife are all coming to town today or tomorrow. Adults are being courted, wooed, and trained to present their candidate's case to their precincts.

We caucus on Saturday. On Sunday, we'll probably feel like we were picked up in a bar and left on the side of the road with our socks inside out, as they'll all leave and take their t.v. ads with them, leaving nothing but the signs sticking in people's yards like someone else's dirty laundry.

Elections are fickle. But I do wish they'd take their laundry when they go.
