The Long Wait: No Primaries Until April 22

There isn’t another presidential primary for almost six weeks. Whatever shall we (and the candidates do with ourselves) until Pennsylvania is ready to hold their primary?

I’m sure all of the candidates will be spending time on fundraising — even with the end of the primary season in sight, most of the campaigns feel stretched. There are still 11 primaries to be contested, and even John McCain’s claim on the Republican nomination doesn’t stop his need to at least make a token effort to win the upcoming contests. This window does provide an opportunity for a head start in those states, though, making it easier to spread campaign stops out a little bit, and allow candidates to get just a bit more sleep than they’ve had the opportunity for in the past several months. Heck, they might even have enough time to be active in the Senate — you know, the august body that all three major candidates still hold offices in.
