Virginia is one of the Super Tuesday states, with the Democratic presidential primary coming up in a few days. That should give me hope that we can sweep away the cruel and corrupt administration that is distorting everything this country is supposed to stand for. But recent campaign events — including the fiasco of a debate this week — are leaving me even more depressed about our chances. That makes me think about the Obama administration, and the hopefulness and excitement that surrounded his presidency for so many of us.
