I’ve been registered as an Independent since my earliest voting days, way back in the late 80s. Last fall, though, I changed my registration, just so I could vote in the 2008 Primary tomorrow. I’m not much for talking politics; I’m not interested in the politics of others, frankly. I know what I want and expect from my government, and I take appropriate actions for me, including writing letters when I’m so moved, and voting, always. I like to educate myself about the candidates, of course, but political rhetoric usually ends up irritating me.
I have high hopes for tomorrow. I have high hopes for the election in November. If you’re in one of the states that makes up Super Tuesday, I hope you’re moved to vote. I don’t much care how you vote, but we’ve got this right to vote, and I fear that not enough of us do it. We already know the power of the knitters…let’s see it at work tomorrow!
Yay, voting!
I am registered indie, so no primary vote for me. However, a certain candidate doesn’t seem to know that and we have received no less than SIXTEEN calls from said candidate’s headquarters, but no others. I placed a complaint call to said candidate’s HQ, and they were shocked, miffed, and also a bit rude. Needless to say, this colors my opinions…Now get out there and vote since you get to!
I couldn’t agree with you more! I was once an Indy, but changed to Demo so I too could vote in a primary (even though I now live in Oregon, I had voting rights in CA and was still voting there up until a few years ago).
This election is historical and momental – glad you’re blogging about it! :o)
I can’t determine what the results will be for TN for the Republican candidates. It is traditionally a red state with uber-Conservatives. With the influx of people moving here from other states, I wonder what the dynamic will be.
Happy Super Tuesday!
