The Andrew Gardner

So it’s come to this: I’m way more psyched about the primary election results tonight than the Giants “upsetting” the Patriots or that the Writer’s Strike is STILL going on, prompting Sid Ganis, the president of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, to urge Oscar nominees to pass the picket line and attend the damn awards show. I have even gotten behind in keeping up on Fashion Week in New York, because, hell, this whole thing is damned exciting.

And thank god I’m paying attention to this election. It’s exciting. I mean, I honestly don’t know anyone that’s not obsessed with this election. They are even comparing Hil and Obamarama to computers, like the New York Times did so well yesterday.

My mom called me today during class and said, “Hi Andrew, you’re dad and I just cast our first two votes where we actually felt like we were voting for someone we wanted rather than because they were the lesser of two evils.” And my parents have weathered many elections. This is big. HUGE, even.

And we all know it. Go to any website and I dare you to not see one mention of today. The washingtonpost.com is doing a live election broadcast on their site, starting at 6 p.m. Slate.com and otehrs have a comprehensive Super Tuesday Survival Guide with some input from political pundit heavy-hitters like Jeff Greenfield. USA Today has an awesome interactive poll guide, where you can track each of the candidates in every state.

And if that’s not enough (sorry, I gave no love to Mac Attack and Romney… whatever his nickname is), Hil went on Letterman last night and declared (as if pulling for that female vote a LITTLE bit more…) that when she and Bill are in the White House, we’ll all know “who wears the pantsuits.”

So, finish your slapping away at that key board, editing those documents, punching in numbers and get out to vote today. And when you get home, don’t forget to turn on any ABC’s FIVE HOURS OF COVERAGE (with Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson, personal faves, actually) or Wolf Blitzer on CNN (poor Soledad plays third fiddle and so does Anderson) or Katie Couric’s cute little CBS special at 9 p.m. (who even knew she did stuff still?) Happy watching!
