I don’t know how it happened. Maybe it was when I picked up a TIME magazine last July sitting in the boys’ dentist office. It outlined all of the “then” candidates. My obsession probably started there. And it has gained in momentum because of CNN’s “Election Center”, every night on Anderson Cooper, with their state-of-the-art graphics and hundreds of commentators (no, I don’t have Fox News as part of my satellite package).
But, nevertheless, it happened. I became a political news junkie. At the ripe old age of 32. My Air Force Colonel grandfather will be so proud. As teenagers, he would come down from Colorado to visit and ask about our political views. We would raise our eyebrows, dilate our pupils and stare, blankly, at him. Politics, schmolitics…we did not have a CLUE.
It will come as no surprise to most of you that I am a big supporter of…
My man Mitt…as I like to call him. So, you can imagine, I was sorely disappointed last night by our loss in Florida. Although I think we still have a chance, it seems that we are always 2 steps behind McCain. I’m hoping the current news cycle stays strongly on the economy, which gives us an ever so slight advantage in my opinion. If for any reason the top stories move towards Iraq, the war on terror, a terror threat around the world of any kind, McCain will emerge as the expert that he is and Romney will be left in the dust. But it is no secret that Romney has the edge with the issue of our economy, and so I remain optimistic, if even cautiously.
There’s my take…who knew I would be so interested in political talk radio, exit polls, round table discussions, debates and primaries. I was THIS close to purchasing this t-shirt, but thought it might be over the top.
Then I thought about having Mitt leave a personalized “Team Mitt” recording on my voicemail (available off of his website), but then I figured my family might call for some kind of “stop the madness” intervention. So I’m just left with blogging…and Anderson Cooper, and the Five Brothers’ Blog, and oh, the Republican Debate tonight from the Reagan Library. 🙂
