the eve of super tuesday

Today is Monday which can only mean that tomorrow is Tuesday. Not just any Tuesday...it is super Tuesday. Watching candidates battle it out making promises they probably intend to keep. I get excited. What if these presidential candidates who are promising change really do bring about change? I guess I am still not completely jaded and hope for the best. It has been really interesting to see candidates, well certain candidates, address issues that haven't been addressed before. I have found this election process to be very interesting and full of several surprises. I am pumped for super Tuesday! and and and if you are a Texan and want to get in on the primary action, today is the last day to register to vote! DO IT. VOTE March 4th!!!

As much as I get into the whole political tracking craze, I have to stop and think about the stuff going on around the world that isn't getting as much attention. I have to wonder what, if any, difference it would make if the amount of coverage put into political campaigns was put on the tragedy in Kenya, Algeria, Chad, sex trafficking in the Sudan and Asia, the billions that go to bed hungry everynight, and the billions that are displaced from their homes and treated like animals. Maybe it wouldn't make a difference at all, but I just wonder sometimes what would happen.
