It is Super Tuesday in states all around the country, including here in Alabama. I voted shortly after the polls opened at 7:00 am. There was already a long lined forming outside the door. Turnout looked very high, at least early. It was encouraging to see so many people out taking part in the process. I felt optimistic and full of charity, not my usual cranky and argumentative political self. I probably could have even said something nice to someone who said that they were voting for Hillary. Just seeing the process at work made me feel like there was still hope for America. Now if only we could get either party to give us some candidates worth voting for.
Who did I vote for? Well, even though I know he has no chance of winning and I really disagree with his call to totally disengage our military from all of its overseas commitments, I had no choice but to vote for Ron Paul. I guess my libertarian economic leanings and desire for a literal reading of the constitution overcame my normal pragmatic conservatism. Actually, it was really more of a protest vote.
Message to the RNC and DNC: Start offering up some real candidates next time, not the total slate of bozos we have to pick from this time around (my apologies to Bozo the clown for comparing him to the current crop of politicians).
