It's not my fault they're so interesting.  I can't flipping wait for New Hampshire. 

Though, I suppose that your average person would argue that they're actually not that interesting.  Especially if your average person happens to be a teenager.  But I happen to find them extremely interesting.

It was especially interesting that Hillary (I can never remember if there's one L or two in her name, and I'm far too lazy to go look), who was originally being considered an invincible candidate came in THIRD in Iowa. 

(Also, does anyone besides me automatically think of the movie "The Huckabees" or whatever it was called that came out a few years back whenever they hear the name Mike Huckabee?  Because I totally do.  And then, my second thought it "Wow, Huckabee is such a strange name.  Thank GOD his parents named him something normal, like Mike.  Because saddling a weird first name to a weird last name is just cruel.  I mean, there was no way that Millard Fillmore's mother loved him.  Or...David Fegley.  Or Harvey Milk.  There is no way a loving parent can saddle a child with names such as these. I just don't believe it.)

Anyway, the other primaries (for anyone besides me who is interested--and you should be, because a friend of mine and I just scoured the internet for this schedule--and only for the Democratic side, because that's what I could find.  Kat, you can deal. :P) stretch from New Hampshire on the ninth, then Michigan on the fifteenth.  Then it goes on until June third and seventh, with Montana/South Dakota and Puerto Rico, repectively.

Feburary fifth is a big day, when more than twenty states vote, and delegates abroad.

I can't wait.  This is SO INTERESTING.

I'm going to be the most educated voter EVER if this interest keeps up.  I mean, I won't vote for another three years, and I'm already all psyched about this. 

Now that I've rambled in very long and boring-to-most-people paragraphs, I shall stop. Trey, I leave it unto you.  Until then, I shall probably sing the words "Mike Huckabee" to this weird tune in my head that I can't place over and over and over.

Love,

Gracey
