Best Reality TV - Super Tuesday

This morning the NPR morning newscaster referred to today’s “Super Tuesday” primaries as a ratings bonanza for television networks as it’ll provide better reality TV than any ”reality” show currently on the tube.

I’m no fan of reality TV shows  (especially since I don’t find it rooted in reality at all) but I sure am addicted to televised events that are actually going to make a difference in the country.  It’s been ages since an election engaged so many people across gender, race, class and most importantly AGE.  An awful lot of young people (including my kids - YAAY!) are following these primaries with real interest.  So many people not just paying attention but getting involved in the debate has  got to bode well for the county.

So who are you betting on tonight? New urbanist champion Richard Flordia (author of Rise of the Creative Class) predicts Barack Obama will do better than expected tonight.

Take a look at Richard’s democract delegate counter.
