I spent most of yesterday glued to my television watching commentary about the primaries in North Carolina and Indiana. To be honest, I think that Barak Obama is a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination, and Hillary Clinton needs to bow out gracefully.
Throughout the day (when I wasn't in front of the set watching CNN or CSPAN), I was getting New York Times text alerts to my iPhone, with the latest tallies after the polls had closed. I found my self oddly transfixed by the two contests, and worrying inordinately about the outcome. Whether its Hillary or Obama or McCain for that matter (although I doubt the Democrats could flub it so badly as to permit another Republican to be at the helm), anything would be better than what we are suffering through right now (but I digress).
My point is that, instead of keeping up with Microsoft's failed bid for Yahoo (its not over, mark my words), or Qtrax's deal with UMG (allegedly its actually going down this time) or writing about the latest technology play by DJ Eddie F, Andre Harrell, James Dorsey and Lionel Ridenour (Musicwerks.com), I was transfixed by this ridiculous battle between Hillary and Barak.
Needless to say, I shan't let that happen again. But damn, Hillary isn't it really time to call it quits?
