Political Junkie

So presidential election years are like my Christmas. I don't know why, exactly. I love the speculation, the fact that the whole thing resembles "Survivor." I've always been this way.

I come from a very left leaning family. We're the ones who caucus for Kucinich, vote for Stevenson, etc. We're the ones that initially liked Ralph Nader. May we express our sincerest apologies for that, by the way. Essentially, my family and I are very rarely on the winning side of the democratic nomination process, much less the general election.

That's why tonight is so cool. I actually picked the winning democrat. What's that about?

I wish I was in Minneapolis tonight. I think it would be a great place to be. Instead, I'm out west, preparing to go east.
