Pointless Punditry

We are 15 days from the Iowa caucuses and less than two months from "Super Tuesday" (Feb. 5th) and the newspapers, magazines and blogs are full of polls and opinion, telling us who is up and who is down. Huckabee and Obama are hot, Rudy and Hillary are not. McCain and Edwards may be making a comeback.

Maybe we should all give it a rest!

I mean, how many ways can you analyze these races? We are going to have actual votes in a couple of weeks. I love politics but some of the arcane analysis is getting to be too much. There are so many pundits, columnists, bloggers, and commentators and every one of them has an opinion. Each one has been trying to find a new angle, a nuance that no one else has thought of.

I have one. Let's just be quiet and let the votes come in.
