Random thoughts on the primary race as it goes to Pennsylvania

• I’ve lost some respect for Bill Clinton as he’s delved into recent negative campaigning.  Negative campaigning is really distasteful.  I hold a former president to a higher standard.

•  The long running primary season has almost made me a little numb.  I hardly even watch Anderson Cooper anymore.  Maybe I will tonight.

• Do I know more about the candidates now than I did three months ago?  I’m not sure that I do. 

• It will be interesting to see if the long, acrimonious primary campaign will play in favor of or work against the democrats in the general election.

•  It is kind of historic that the primary campaign is still alive and we’re almost into May.  A far cry from previous years when by the time the Illinois primary rolled around in March and the race has been all but resolved.

•  It’s interesting to watch the race in Pennsylvania in so far as the state is demographically somewhat similar to Illinois but the polls show the Obama/Clinton race to a much closer finish than happened here.

•  Who’s gonna win?  I’m going out on a limb and predict an Obama come from behind victory.
