Sharon Cobb has a schedule for the Democratic Primaries that are scheduled for the next month.

I’m stealing shamelessly, Sharon but I like the way you have it laid out.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY CALENDAR

 

Tuesday, January 15

Michigan (no DNC delegates at stake)

 

Wednesday, January 16

Tennessee early voting begins (85 delegates–the most so far)

 

Saturday, January 19

Nevada (33 delegates)

 

Saturday, January 26
South Carolina (54 delegates)
Tuesday, January 29
Florida (no DNC delegates at stake)

And then we have Super Tuesday on February 5 when my happy hiney will be at the polls staring vacantly at the computer screen, wishing deeply that I had a paper ballot, knowing I’m not going to get one although I will request it. We’ll see how that works out.

Wonkosphere is tracking the blog buzz on each candidate if you are so inclined which really is pretty neat.

My Super Tuesday dilemma is wanting to watch Keith Obermann give the results and not being able to stomach Chris Matthews. Matthews, who’s legendary shrillness and high-pitched punditry which usually misses the target, has been rightfully hammered this week for his asshattery.

From Media Matters on Matthews and he’s recent idiocy:

As Media Matters for America documented, the next morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Matthews said: “Let’s not forget — and I’ll be brutal — the reason she’s a U.S. senator, the reason she’s a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That’s how she got to be senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn’t win there on her merits. She won because everybody felt, ‘My God, this woman stood up under humiliation,’ right? That’s what happened.”

**sigh**

He really doesn’t get it, does he?

Now I think it goes without saying that I won’t be watching Chris Matthews on Super Tuesday.

I think one thing to remember is that network anchors are campaigning just as hard as they candidates for your “vote” to watch them during the election season and for ad dollars.

Matthews behavior this week has lost him my vote to be viewer of MSNBC during the campaign election.

Just saying.
