So this year I get to feel like my vote actually counts for the first time in the eleven years I have been voting. You see I live in Montana and, well, we usually do not count in the long run as we don't have the votes in the electoral college that the big states have. This year the democratic nomination has come down to the wire and all of a sudden our voices in this big state, empty of people, counts more than usual. It has actually been pretty damn cool the last couple months, with all the trips that Barack, Hillary, Bill and Chelsea have been making into various parts of Montana.

So I guess I am actually kind of excited about the democratic process for the first time in a long time, and that's pretty damn cool.

well it's 6pm and I got back from voting and running some errands a little bit ago, now I just have to sit back and watch the magic happen. I will probably sit here and watch the Braves game and the votes come in just to see what is what. I haven't been this into an election since Bush Gore, when me and my buddy Kev watched the whole deal from the bar we worked at and vowed not to leave until there was a winner, well we had to leave when they locked the place up after cleaning and all that, and little did we know that we would have been there for quite some time if we stayed true to our words. So yeah, yay politics are fun again.
