The media's silly season is in full swing.

Agreed. That's why January primaries are wrong. They are taking the Christmas season and replacing it with the silly season.

Neither of these two is even an actual story. The media is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And having the primaries so close to Christmas and New Year's make politics even more unattractive. People will be discussing (and arguing) over politics when they should go to family events and New Year's parties and have fun.

I really hope both parties will come to their senses and push all the primaries back past February. That's still plenty early. Personally, I think they should push them back to March.
