Maybe it's just me, but I'm going to miss the Democratic primaries. They were fun to watch.
I have a personal reason as well. I enjoy watching sports, but I've never been one to follow all the minute number crunching so beloved of the average hard-core sports fan. I've got some friends like that -- the kind that are always checking the latest scores on their cell phones to update their standings in whatever fantasy sports league has taken over their lives at the moment.
If you express an opinion on any particular game, player, or team, they'll throw a bunch of numbers and arcane information at you to irrefutably prove that you, pal, are WRONG!
The Democratic primaries gave me an opportunity to turn the tables on those guys. They were interested in the primaries, but not following them as closely as I was, allowing me to hold forth on the topic until somebody would emphatically change the subject.
(I can imagine you readers making a mental note, should you and I ever attend the same party, to immediately make a break for the bathroom if you see me approaching. Not a bad idea.)
