The End of the Election Season

I'll admit it, I'm a little happy the election season has come to a close. I have lived and breathed politics for the last two months, and while I love speaking about it, I'm done. But I know in a few weeks, there will be something new for me to debate about, and the cycle will go on. I mean, 2016 is only four years away!

With regards to Tuesday night, yes, it was hard, and yes, I did cry during Mitt Romney's concession speech.



He is the epitome of class, and has left the GOP party, for now, very sad, and we will now be lacking in the 'good hair' department for some time.

Wednesday was tough, but it wasn't over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor, and it sure isn't over now. I still believe in America, and I will always love being an American more than I love being a Republican.

I am working on a new (political themed) project that will hopefully debut in the next few weeks, and I can't wait to share it with y'all!

Election Day!

It's finally here!

Living in a battleground state has it's perks, like getting to meet Senator McCain, his wife, Cindy, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, all in one morning!

Senator Graham and I exchanged a "Go Gamecocks!"

But then there's the five ads in a row on TV, and the ten ads in the mail, plus signs everywhere.

But it's all worth it. What lucky people we are where our elections are fair and non-violent, and the candidate is chosen by a system that has worked 44 times. How lucky we are that our candidates can debate, trade jabs, and the people can hold their leaders accountable without fear of repercussions. How lucky we are that Democrats and Republicans can still be friends at the end of the day. 

I don't care if you're a Romney/Ryan Republican, Gary Johnson Libertarian, or even a Obama/Biden Democrat. As Gladys Payne Schieffer said, "Go vote; it makes you feel big and strong". Exercise your right as an American.

Although I am a Republican, I love America more than I love being in a certain party.

In short: Go America. Go Vote.

Debate #3

As of 8:30 EST, I am officially done with my speech! Yipee!

Hopefully later this week I'll have time to organize my thoughts into a post about politics, but for now, I want to hear opinions on last night!

I thought it was a great debate! I loved Obama's zinger about "The 1980s wanting their foreign policy back", although it was misguided, I am definitely guilty of saying the same phrase! But there were some very good points by Mitt Romney, and he sounds very Reagan-esque.

I especially loved Mitt Romney's comments. It was so fireside chat esque, I felt like he was sitting in my living room!

What did you think? What was your favorite quote or zing?
