Be careful what you wish for

Part of me is really, really excited that California, the most populous state, finally will have a say in picking the party nominees with our Feb. 5 presidential primary. If two thirds of more of them don't fold their tents after Iowa and New Hampshire, we might be more than just punctuation on the process.
You gotta love that people like Rudy, Mitt, Hillary and Barack will actually have to set foot out here and be accessible to more than their six-figure fundraisers.
On the other hand, it means putting up with a big ole dump of campaign dollars, which doesn't excite anyone who isn't in broadcast advertising, sign printing or automated phone systems. Get ready for wall-to-wall commercials on radio and TV and so many annoying phone calls you can't hang up on them fast enough. If anybody knows what campaign overkill looks like, it's Iowans, whose sentiments about now are summed up in low-key fashion in this little YouTube'd ditty.
Perhaps their bitterness stems in part from knowing that, once their Jan. 3 caucus is over, it's highly unlikely that either the annointed candidates nor President Whoever will acknowledge Iowa's existence, much less return to the state.
