This Iowa caucus shit is crazy. Howard Dean, John Kerry, and Dennis Kucinich are all here in Ames right now giving their last campaign speeches before the caucuses begin at 6:30. I have three presidential candidates less than a mile from me. If I was even 80% sure who I wanted to vote for, I'd go to these little campaign pow wows, but I don't know who I want to support.

The focus on this campus has been insane. Every single candidate has been here at least once in the last 6 months, and a couple of them have made several appearances. CNN filmed a few of their segments here about a week ago, too. I've been getting phone calls and flyers asking me to support candidates.

It's really amazing how the Iowa caucuses are becoming more and more important with each election. I can't wait to see what kind of rat race will be here in 2008. Hopefully it'll be republican candidates trying to beat a democratic president next time around. ;)

Kucinich, Kucinich, Kucinich!

He's the coolest EVAR. Or the adult equivalent of that, anyway. :P

Actually, I'm hopeful it will be green party, libertarians, and constitutional party members trying to knock off the Democrat since the Republican party will realize that their party only exists to throw the Bible at people and scare them into thinking minorities and immigrants will take their jobs, since they've given up on the whole fiscal responsibility and small government angles.

Yeah, then everyone will forget about Iowa...which is okay by me!
