Slowly slowly slowly I’m figuring this blog page out.

I’m sure I would have achieve more on if I hadn’t been glued to the telly for the “Super Tuesday” breakdowns. Being stuck to that screen made me realize what a political count down junkie I am.

The demographic breakdowns, the numbers flashing on the screen, colour coded maps. At least I recognised the places they were talking about “California, Arkansas, West Virginia, New York. Unlike here where you get the analysts talking about Mayo, Canning, Fairfax and Lingiari????

I suppose the question is “Why is an Aussie caring about the US presidential race?”

Answer: I don’t - I just like political countdowns - I’m sure I’d tune in if the election was held in Iran/Kenya/Luxembourg/East Timor - as long as they have the screens full of maps (colour coded of course), vote numbers and unknown analysts waffling on.

Maybe a new tv station could be created - election tv - I’d subscribe
