Choice for President....Democratic
Wishes:
I'm going to vote for Clinton tomorrow. It was a hard pick between her and Obama. I'm not even 100% sure why I picked one over the other. I don't think Clinton or Obama will pick the other as their VP.
I used to be so excited on election days. But after the last two presidential elections/disasters I don't have the same excitement. I'll never stop voting though.

Heya Wishes! I completely understand your frustration with presidential politics in recent history... but what you said here is such a good attitude!
I also believe that it's really so important to keep voting... considering how hard-won the right to vote was for so many people, including women and African Americans in the U.S.
In this case, this time around, I truly am excited about the general, historic circumstance with the now-clear fact that the nominee by one of the major parties will be either a woman or an African American. I think it's so exciting and wonderful that it almost gives me chills. This goes quite a bit beyond either Clinton or Obama as individual candidates. But, as a Democrat, I'm also quite pleased with both of them. So, I'll be content no matter how it shakes out in the end. I'm still slightly more of a Hillary supporter though.

Hi atz, yes this really will be a historic nomination!
I get frustrated with how many people do not vote. I know a lot of people who do not vote. I could not wait to register when I turned 18 and have been faithfully voting ever since.
I'll be glued to CNN Tuesday night!

Yeah, I remember I registered to vote right after I turned 18 too. They had a special event in my high school during lunch hour one day where kids who were already 18 could go register. It's a really exciting memory.
And, yes the results Tuesday will be really exciting to see roll in.

I registered to vote when I turned 18 too. The first time I voted was in 1980 when Reagan first ran for president. I don't remember who I voted for, but I know it wasn't Reagan.
Indiana won't participate in Super Tuesday, so we'll have to trust ya'll to make a good decision for us. :)
