I know I am a big geek, but I am REALLY excited about this election year!! It is truly historical! The possiblity of a woman or black man as President of the United States is AWESOME. (I am hoping for the black man by the way!) The past several decades we have had such a low turn out at the polls, and I am really hoping that with the past two presidential terms being so unsatisfying and unsatifactory for so many Americans that some people who have never voted, never thought their vote mattered will actually come out and make their mark.
If you haven’t registed to vote go here . You can find information for registering for every state. Please add becoming an active voter to your list of resolutions of the new year! I don’t care who you vote for — okay I do — but vote anyway!! Vote to spite someone! Vote to impress someone! Vote because you don’t want to lose any more freedoms! Vote because you never have! Vote to cancel out someone else’s vote! Vote for your cause! Vote because it’s sexy! Vote because you should!
I don’t care if our next president is black, female, or green.
I just hope they can put America and the world back on a better track. Iowa, tomorrow you have a very importance caucus. You have more power than anybody else influencing who will be our next president. Don’t mess it up this time.
I’m excited too. I’m proud that South Carolina has the opportunity to have an impact, and hopeful that we will show well. I have a big crush on TIm Russert….so I imagine that I’m an even a bigger geek than you!
