No One Is Paying Attention Yet

When I was younger, I never paid attention to any of the primaries or caucuses. I thought it was mostly bullshit formalities before the general election. The reason I bring this up is because this past year has been amazing regarding the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Surely everyone knows what has been going on with Hillary and Barack and Wrightgate and Tuzlagate and racism and sexism and on and on.

Well here is a conversation I had just a little while ago with the cashier at a Burger King drive-thru. She heard Ed Schultz on my radio speaking with some conservative about McCain.

Cashier: What's up with Hillary?

Me: Huh?

C: She just dropped out.

Me: Yes, she'll drop out on Saturday.

C: Why?

Me: ... She lost.

C: She lost?!

Me: Yes, Obama won enough delegates on Tuesday. He won. She can't catch up.

C: She can't catch up?

Me: No.

C: ...oh...

Here is a lady working away and not in tune with anything political, at least not as in tune as we are (by "we" I mean blogging, political junkies) and didn't know that Hillary Clinton was behind in the race for months, that her last month was likely detrimental to the Democratic party as far as focusing on McCain and that although there was no way she was going to come close, kept running anyway.

I know voting is a right, but sometimes I think it should be a privilege.
