Now I know why I stay out of GD 2004
There is too much hysteria going on. For god's sake it's only the first primary. It's no reason to freak out because of what who did or said after the results were in. I for one am happy that the field is beginning to narrow. Then it will be more apparent who the real front runner is.

1. Exactly so, Cleita
Narrowing of the field, at least a little, would help to focus things more. All the major handwringing is giving me a headache. I am ready to see what the next primary brings, and the next, and the next....

6. Surprised by the Iowa results...
...or by the GD2004 forum? :D

4. I stay far away from that forum.
okay except for tonight I dived in just to see what the latest was.

and I quickly ducked back out.

Thank you, mods, for spinning that forum off into its own mess!

5. It's a minefield...
...and I deliberately try to stay the hell out. Which is too bad, as I have some very genuine questions about a couple of candidates that I'd love to ask their supporters, but I know it'll just dissolve into something I don't want to be responsible for starting.

I get my news from DU, but for candidate positions, I'm on my own.

8. heh!
It's really bad tonight.

I got my first warning, though. So proud.

Kinda thought it would be deleted, and maybe I should have told them what I REALLY thought, and made it worth the demerit.
