I never thought I'd see a day for a long time where primary votes in Indiana would count. As some of you know, I preside in Indiana, a smaller, less exciting state (save for the Indy 500) that also is smaller when coming to politics. Ever since the primaries and presidential candidatae campaignings began, I thought Indiana would just be on the side lines cheering for whoever to get the Republican/Democratic nomination. Well, I guess we got some playing time, because tonight was the first time in a long time Indiana voters could vote!

This morning I went to vote for the Democrats. I'm actually a Republican but since Republican votes don't matter anymore because John McCain (WOOOOOO!!!!!) won the Republican nomination, or is waiting to, I voted for who I thought was best. I chose Barack Obama, because I thought if its a Democrat either way (because folks are sick of Republicans because of an 8 yr rule) Obama was the one to choose. Turns out that Hillary Clinton will win this place though, but I'll bet Rush Limbaugh listeners helped a lot here because of his "Keep her in so we can win: Operation Chaos" comment on one of his broadcasts made people think Clinton would get McCain to win. Well, I'll say he definately nailed down the "chaos" part, but I don't know if Clinton will be the easier candidate because she won most of the big states, which would make it hard for McCain. I feel bad my vote couldn't help the guy, but I know he'll win.

My parents and sisters voted too, for Obama as well. We don't want another Clinton in the White House again, and I think Obama would do a better job. Still, I never thought I'd vote for the Dems ever in my life, especially with their bad views on Iraq, and in my opinion, the economy. One, I don't want us out of Iraq. I believe McCain when he says we can win there, and I know we can, its just a matter of time and patience. It seems the Dems don't care about the Iraqi people like some of us do. Economy wise, working with my dad for the past while in the econ business, I believe lowering taxes instead of highering them is best for the economy to increase spending from the people and what not. (Take note my economics are not my major from college, so I may sound a bit off because they aren't my strong point)

All I can say is, its been one hell of a day here in this small and not so exciting state. Never thought I'd see a single candidate set foot in this state, but it happened, and I'm surprised. My friend Nathan actually went to see Obama present a speech last night, he said it was interesting, but he's a Republican too so he's still set for McCain. After all this though, Dems, just get a nominee already! I want this election **** to be over.

McCain/Romney 08! WOOOOO!!!!!!
