For those of us who have children we are eminently familiar with the term "hurry up and wait." It now applies to the mess of a primary season. The millions spent to get to the front of the line was much ado about nothing. Rushing the electorate to be the state to nominate just fizzled.
It is going to come down to maybe Indiana and North Carolina and not all those states that rushed to judgement to be the one to nominate. Speed and/or being first is not always a good thing.
Look at all we have learned about the two candidates for the Democrat nomination by going through this discourse. We should wag our fingers at all those politicos who moved given states primaries to try and get to the front of the feeding trough. I am glad they are now in wait mode. Have we learned anything, probably not. Perhaps the rush next time will be to be last. What is it the children's story taught us. Slow and steady wins the race.
Just one more thing our Mother's taught us that if we would just remember them life would be much easier on everyone. Next post will highlight, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

Dave, you need to post more often. You're a good blogger. Here are some other famous "Mom" sayings you could post upon...
You need to eat your vegetables!
Watch out for wet leaves.
If you keep making faces like that your face will stay that way.
and the dread mother's curse...
I hope you have children just like you!
I truly enjoy your insights. Washington DC needs to listen more to the "average midwestern Dad's" of this country.
I love you Daddy =)
Thanks Andy. Do you have a blog?
