Well, us Dems in Texas might actually make a difference this year.

I just hope that after this bitterly fought primary our party isn’t completely factured. But I’m a Democrat and I’m used to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I’ve been glued to the coverage. This is exciting. I like having two candidates, both of whom I like, running for the Democratic nomination.

Kansas is a caucus state again, as it was in ’76 when I went to be part of the process. ’80 was more fun, when the primary that the state held just for favorite psycho Bob “Heal my withered arm” Dole wound up with him losing to Reagan and John Anderson. Hope you had fun, Sara.

I was about 12 years old when my mother gave me her vote. I took it very seriously (and still do). Every item was researched and debated. I filled out the ballot and she signed it. She did this until I leagally had my own vote. We debated the issues until the day she died.

We all went early today because the weather is going to turn to sh!t by end of the day.

Voter turnout didn’t appear to be affected by the rain, though the Repub pile of ballots was still thick (Dem not so much). But then I live in a very blue district.

My new cause: Election Day Registration. It's worked for decades in states like Minnesota.

Kansas (if you’re a Dem) is a super state for the first time in my memory. I plan on voicing my opinion. Of course the weather prediction is for a half foot of snow.

This post makes my patriotic heart swell. I mean it. Thanks, Mad.

So often here in Texas, I grit my teeth and go the polls with the sure knowledge that my vote will be swept away to the tune of a gigantic red-state flushing sound. But Madeleine’s right: All y’all in a Super Tuesday state can really, truly, and for-real make history today.

Go for it, people.

GO MAMA!

…56% is pathetic, people. Come ON! Let’s MOVE. If my 12-year-old sister can change the world in one fell swoop but the whole population of America can’t… that’s sad. So let’s go already!
