Today will be no exception, as we aren't amongst the states for Super Tuesday. In fact I think our primary is the 48th or 49th. Which makes sense, since that's about where we are on every other list (education, economy, etc.). Our mantra is "Thank God for South Carolina (or Mississippi, depending on what year it is). Today our only vote is to replace the State Senator who was recently elected Lt. Governor. And we've gotten the phone calls too. Automated and otherwise. From both parties. Even the governor and our congressman made recordings. By now I don't want either of them. Can I write in Bugs Bunny?<BR/>By the time our presidential primary rolls around there may not be anybody left to choose between. But I'll be voting anyway. My daughter is already miffed that she can't punch the buttons, so hopefully she'll still feel the same way when she's 18 (a mere 14 years away).<BR/>BTW, you should check out my blog today. ;)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-56308574380769808442008-02-05T05:29:00.000-08:002008-02-05T05:29:00.000-08:00Very well said.
