First in the Nation
Iowa has spoken. A good percentage of US citizens pay attention to my quiet little state for a short time once every 4 years or so. Today was such a day as we had one more go-round at having the nation's first democratic and republican caucuses tonight. It was also my first time caucusing, what an interesting experience....Pretty disorganized and haphazard, but interesting just the same.
I caucused for John Edwards. I was so divided between him, Barack and Bill Richardson and well, his people just did the best job woo-ing undecided me I guess. Bottom line though is that in Nov. I will vote for ANY democratic candidate over the outwardly hypermoral but truly immoral republican.
Anyway, its all over after tonight. The 2500 (for real, although some are local) media will leave town tomorrow along with every single one of the candidates and Bill Clinton. Among others. And Iowa will be shuffled to the back of the pack again for the next 4 years as nothing exciting ever seems to happen hear.
In other news, I started Jaden on valerian root over Christmas school break. Today was her first day back at school and she did an AWESOME job of paying attention and staying out of trouble. Yea her!
