I use to write blog entries about March Madness having nothing to do with collegiate basketball.  That was way back when my daughter was playing Region 1 soccer and March meant the start of a travel season that easily saw our team traveling about 1000 miles one way to games.

I was thrilled today to see that Ken Rudin is giving us political junkies our own version of March Madness.  Not that I haven’t filled out a bracket or five – all with the same results which I know defeats the purpose – but this is a bracket that I can get into.  It is March Madness as only NPR can do it – the 2012 Republican Presidential Primaries.

So suck up the fact that your upset in the Big Dance didn’t happen today when Butler fell to LSU.  Don’t worry if your bracket has Northern Iowa going all the way.  Click over to NPR and fill out a totally different bracket here.
