March first is primary day here in Texas for both the Republican and Democratic parties. It is a full eight months before the election in November, which means we have months and months of political ads (mostly negative attack ads) to wade through. But the November elections are the easy part. Given the current divisive nature of American politics, most of the electorate will be voting their traditional party affiliations, ignoring the hyperbolic diatribes on the TV screen (our mute button has been used so often that it gave up the ghost and no longer functions). Even independents have it easy. They will have only one Republican or Democrat to choose from come November (Libertarians, Greens and whatever else there is on the ballot having no chance of winning).
