Wake me when...

Posted at 12:02 AM on March 9, 2006 by Bob Collins

I've been pretty much out of touch with politics since last Friday. Anything happen? I was busy battling a vertigo and deafness thing as the result of Meneier's Disease, which suddenly made it all a bit less...well... interesting. Things like that happen when you walk down the hall like a pinball.

Now I'm able to stand up long enough to hear Kirby is dead, Jan Berry is dead, the Wolves won a bunch of games (OK, two, that counts for something), the folks who everyone figured would win the caucuses, won the caucuses (which is to say, I guess, everyone), I turn on ESPN and there's a baseball game between Puerto Rico and the Netherlands (the Netherlands?), and Mike Mulcahy has started a podcast -- Policast. What did you people do to the planet while I was away?

But as near as I can tell, some things are dependable. I still can't find a poll anywhere that acknowledges the race for governor is a three-party race. I mean, sure, the polls are interesting and all in their two-party sort of way, the way big neon signs at drive-in car-hops are cute. Fifty-five percent of the people who voted in 2002 did not vote for the guy who ended up being governor. So what good is a two-party poll now?
