Iowa Caucus Night!!!!

Politics, how I love thee.  THIS is what gets my blood going in the morning, especially in such a tight race as this.  I had fun discussing the options with my manager at work and it was great going head to head with her since she's a Democrate and I'm a Republican.  The good part is that neither of us minds attacking our respective sides when they're wrong.  She ADORES Hillary Clinton while I do not.  I like Romney but cannot vote for him since he's a Mormon  If he was Catholic that would be different but my personal beliefs cannot allow me to support a Mormon due to their religious teachings and how they view the Bible, etc.  I told her a long time ago about Romney's great ideas for foreign relations though but she wasn't interested since she was going to support Edwards (even though she loves Hillary, she just doesn't think she can  win).  Imagine my surprise when now she thinks he's the best of the whole pool because he's balanced, thinks things through, and has good plans for the country.  She'll never admit I helped changed her mind but I know I did!

So the results in Iowa!  Oh my gosh!! It was BEYOND Awesome!!  HUCKABEE?? I was so elated.  I told my boss later that my emotional side was happy that an evangelical Christian had won the support of Iowa's Republicans.  He might not have the best plans and his name is kind of funky BUT he's a Christian and a dark horse.  Bill Clinton said not to underestimate him when no one and I mean NO ONE was paying attention to the little guy.  Then Barack's win AND his speech.  He is the first Democrat I might have to vote for if he gets the nomination.  That speech was SO inspiration and SO on cue.  I loved it!!  We need to get past the partisanship and start working to improve the country.  "We're not red states...We're not blue states...We're the UNITED STATES"  Barack, you've certainly won my heart.  Just stay conservative and I can give you my vote :)

And that's all folks :) On to New Hampshire!
