Well I got back from my first Nationals game today with closer Chad Cordero serving up a gofer ball on his third pitch of the ninth inning for a heart-breaking 3-2 loss, the Nats remain in last place, we still are leading the way in Iraq leaving only our position of peace in doubt. With apologies to Charley Dryden, who as the sports editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote the famous line "Washington -- First in war, first in peace, (and) last in the American League...," I see where my home county is leading in something, rah, rah, rah.
My first post to this blog a few weeks ago told of the three-fer we had with Edwards, Obama and Richardson visiting in the span of a few hours. It is no big surprise -- money.
Clinton and Obama are leading in the collection of money from MoCo. But Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd is ahead of Edwards, Richardson and Biden for 3rd place on this list. Interesting...
On the Republican side, it is Romney followed by Giuliani with McCain somewhere down in the middle of the pack. As Arte Johnson's character would say "verrry interesting..."
What is interesting is how much the GOP comes to MoCo to raise money almost as much as the rest of us. Then again MoCo has the most Republicans in the state. Making Montgomery County -- first in Republicans, second in Democrats and last in successful ballot initiatives.
