2008 U.S. Presidential Election - Primaries

[Drusilla]

Woot! Something Dru and I can completely agree on! Texas was a utter mess when it came to our election.

Honey, I was stuck at the caucus for over an hour, AND I left early because I was still supposed to be at work. My polling site was for three precincts, but with a comparatively low residential population, since so many houses out here are vacation rentals... Anyway... When I got home at 11:30 that night, there were caucuses in Houston that hadn't started yet because people were still voting in the PRIMARY. What the HELL?! I was not at all impressed with the Texas Democratic Party leaders with the set up, because it was the massive amounts of Democrat voters that swamped the polls...

On the other hand, I was ECSTATIC that so many people were voting! I think that we may finally be seeing the beginnings of that political revolution that people have been talking about for the past FIFTY years...

I wish, but most likely just like for the past 49 years, it aint going to happen. People got excited back in January and December and on Super Tuesday, and on Super Tuesday 2. But if you've noticed, all that steam is really starting to wind down. The teenager momentum is shifting it's focus back to girls, bikinis, and the beach as summer rolls around. Obama was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo last March ~.^. Its why so many political pundits will say "There is a word for the politician that relies on the Youth Vote: Loser". Becuase us teenagers ( I'm 23 x.x ) have the attention spans of fruit flies.
