I'll take "Delegates for 100" Alex

Oh to understand all that is happening on "Super Tuesday."  We lived in SC for four years.  It was so fun--oh the political fun.  Speakers, adds, phone calls, visits from the President.  Now we live in a state that has a really late primary I feel very removed from all the political stuff.  I don't even know when our primary is...need to find that out.  Tonight as I was watching everything unfold on CNN, Kathryn was asking me about the maps, the colors, the numbers.  I feel like the more I watch, the more questions I have.  I would love to just have a glimpse of understanding at how all of this worked.  Super delegate?  Somebody won ten super delegates? What on earth is that?  I couldn't be more confused. Oh to go back to Mr. Fluegge's US History class and ask better questions.  Oh the graphics...those guys must just have a ball.  Maps, colors, set design, music...and we haven't even reached the super fun part with the maps where they can take off a state and then put up a new state that is either red or blue.  It is the political version of Viper99000 or whatever the weathermen are using these days.  We always say that it seems those weather guys must really have fun with all their tools and graphics, especially around here with all of our wacky weather.  Oh the math on CNN...if I ever go back to teaching math (very unlikely), it would be so different.  "When are we ever going to use this?"  Watching the news.  How many word problems can you make just from watching thirty seconds of primary coverage.  Oh the fun!

This is what happens when you are on Henry duty during primary season and the house has run out of chocolate!
