As of date I consider myself to be a republican.. what!?!  I know a black republican.. and I’m not even rich yet either!  I’m not really big on politics - although I’ve always wanted to be.  Sounds funny right!  I attempt to listen to NPR when driving to work and I try and catch CNN, but I really don’t.

Yesterday a family friend, Debon Jr. stopped by and we talked a bit about politics, etc.  I was also watching CNN and I realized that I don’t watch the news because we always have kiddie shows on for the children.  Alex asked a couple times to watch Thomas the Tank Engine, but I was kind of focused on watching CNN.

Well, either way - I’m going to try and keep up-to-date on what’s going on.  All my electorial life I’ve never really tried to learn the system nor understand it.  Recently; for the primaries - I was confused about my experience.  When in line I filled out the card they gave us and I marked that I was republican.  This election year I’m actually in favor for Barack Obama, but since I put down republican on my card - they only gave me republican choices.  I chose McCain, but I really wanted to vote for Obama.  Since then I’ve done a little research into understanding how our voting system works and I’ll post stuff here from time-to-time.
