I'm standing in the bank, patiently waiting in line to make a deposit. My major financial institution, like most, has television screens in every corner, usually tuned to a major news network. Today, thankfully, it was CNN, not Faux. But Sarah Palin is on the screen, making her usual ridiculous, hypocritical statements. And then, I hear it, and the room begins to spin...

It seems like an age ago, but the Iowa caucuses are only three months behind us. That night was a powder-keg of excitement; schools and union halls and any public building available were packed to the gills (at least on the Democratic side) with enthusiastic supporters. And honestly, that night, I thought Hillary's goose was cooked. But, as the excitement of that event has died away, so has the mass enthusiasm of the primary cycle in general. We have ground to a slow churn, a boring and predictable series of events that make us remember how shockingly dull democracy can be. And those are the very same words I would use to describe the Johnson County Democratic Convention, held yesterday, at a local high school.

In the last 2 days I received 4 robocalls from Bill Richardson. My mailbox has been stuffed with literature from Obama, Hillary, Edwards, and everyone else. Ron Paul robocalled my girlfriend. Every night on the local news the top story has been which candidate is where. As an Iowan I have been dealing with all this caucus crap for a year, and I'm glad it's over. Tonight I stood in an elementary school gym with 500 of my neighbors as we chose who we thought should be the next Democratic nominee for president. It was HOT. And SMELLY. It was a great time and an archaic democratic hoot. But frankly, I'm glad it's over.
