Anyone as ridiculously excited about Super Tuesday as I am? This is the best reality show ever.

My fingers are crossed for my man.

tv, obama, politics

i am!

even though we missed the registration deadline for the primaries, do you want to go with me some afternoon and sign up to be deputy registrars? that just means that you have the power to register other people to vote. neat trick, huh?

matt and audrey just directed me at that video, too.

GObama GObama GObama!!

Andrew hasn't been able to sleep he's so worked up about the elections. He's been checking the websites every five minutes for updates since last week. It's driving me CRRRRAZY! But I love it. Haha.

Voted yesterday, so excited to see what happens. We have more delegates right now! What do you think Edwards is going to do with his delegates?

hehehe GOBAMA indeed!! I'm kinda bummed about the results. What is UP? Can he rally the rest of the country in time? I am freaking thrilled that I can vote for him and have it matter. I heart him so much. I'm starting to despise Hillary. Ugh.

hehe, Andrew is cute!! Ali is pretty hyped, too, which is nice.

Don't Edwards' delegates just go to the convention unpledged?

I have Noooo idea. Andrew knows way more about this than I do. I didn't really understand the whole delegate thing even.... Or the super-delegates.
I dunno about the results. The Clinton machine has lots of support all around. Lots of wealthy people in California. Lots of people in California who aren't citizens. Really not sure. But I HAVE HOPE!!! ;)

So I looked it up and it looked like the delegates would just become unpledged, but I just heard on NPR that Edwards can pick to endorse one of the other candidates and give them his delegates. That's freaking HOT! You know he'd pick our man.

I just also read that Texas is a take-all state, which means my vote probably won't count afterall. Sniff. I'm gonna have to save $$ and just donate to his campaign when I can. He'll change our world if we can just get him elected!!
