Today I get to vote!
That's all I have to say about that.
EDIT: I know Hillary Clinton is going to trounce Barack Obama in Kentucky. I am interested in seeing the geographical breakdown of the votes, though.
RE-EDIT: No surprise. Clinton takes Appalachia; Obama takes the metro areas.
I'm here at our local meeting of Drinking Liberally, where fifteen of us (so far) have gathered to watch the returns and have some food and drink.
Before I start blogging about this (which will be sporadic, since my view of the TV screen is obscured by a large plant, and I also plan to talk to people instead of just typing on my keyboard), let me state a few opinions about our political process:
Okay, so that's not very elaborate, but there's a lot of noise and conversation here.
Just after we arrived here, CNN announced that Obama had taken Georgia.
7:41 pm: Don't know how much I'll be able to do. The connection is pretty spotty, since Lexington for Obama is also at this restaurant. The wireless network is taking a serious hit.
8:51 pm: So I ate a delicious burger with teriyaki sauce and swiss cheese. Yum. The returns so far have not been a surprise.
9:04 pm: Obama takes Delaware. I totally nailed that one.
9:10 pm: Gah! Nowhere to plug in the laptop!
9:40 pm: We are home now; the DL event was fun and loud and there were a ton of people. With the wi-fi going in and out I wasn't able to comment as things were happening. Ah well. Other people are better-suited for political commentary anyway.
10:25 pm: Huckabee is really doing this well? I fear for our country and its constitution. I mean, I didn't expect him to get any delegates.
11:22 pm: Gritting my teeth about the California returns. Edge of my seat.
