By Nathan Dixon · Tuesday, Jan. 29,2008 7:33 p.m.

This certainly isn’t how I expected to feel about the Democratic presidential primary. I remember the good old days, back in high school, when I would carry around my autographed copy of “The Audacity of Hope,” when I volunteered with Barack Obama’s campaign over the summer.
