Super-sick Tuesday.
Tags:Today, in our quarantined little house (Simon has definitely joined Chris with the flu - I am still hanging on to health), we are definitely paying attention to what is going on around the country. Lots of checking things out online and switching back and forth between CNN and Fox News (gotta have a bit of both sides).
It is tremendously exciting to see so many people involved in the process. So many people voting rather than staying home; being a part of the entire process. Regardless of who you are supporting it is so cool to see so many people engaged rather than apathetic.
Some of you may remember that we had the opportunity to meet Barack Obama back in September. I continue to be inspired by him and am definitely supporting him (even though our primary is not until May 20th: grumble) and cheering him on today.
Many of you may have already seen this "yes we can" video. It's the words and the sentiment and the passion that I love. If you want to see the actual words from the speech go here (click the "about this video" tab).
If you have the opportunity in your state today, go vote.

I'm so excited to be able to vote on Super Tuesday here in Illinois. I grew up in Wisconsin, and I remember our primaries always taking place late in the process. Usually, the candidate I wanted to vote for had already dropped out.

It's definatly a super day. I'm excited to see the actual numbers come in tonight.
In MI Hilary was really the only democrat on the ballot so I voted for the Repulician I would be most likely to vote for in case the deomcrat was a total nightmare.
