Super Tuesday Thoughts
Can't you just smell the democracy in the air? I can. Actually, it's just really humid and warm outside today, so the air feels a little different. Not like winter at all anymore. But anyhoo...
I marched off (okay, I drove) to the polls this morning around 10 a.m., which I planned carefully so I could avoid the before-work rush as well as the lunchtime rush. I was the only one there, and I felt kind of lonely, to be honest. I mean, this is one of the things that's so cool about being American, right? Voting? I just think it would have been more fun to be part of at least a small crowd. But the old people that work the polls, now they were cute and fun, and this older gentleman chased me into the hall waiving a sticker because I forgot to get one when I was leaving.
So I decided which candidate to vote for about an hour before I got there (sorry, not telling). Then I got home and found an article that I wish I'd read before I'd left. It covers a very important issue I hadn't even considered, and now I am so embarrassed that I hadn't thought of this before I cast my vote. ABCnews.com's feature, Super Style: Barack vs. Hillary, spells it out. We need a president with STYLE, people! And the only thing funnier than this article are the reader comments that follow. Just because it's Super Tuesday doesn't mean we can't have a little fun now, does it?
