Part 4 of 7: I Am A Political Junkie

Now that the presidential campaign season has well and truly started, I am in trouble. I spend far more time than I should surfing news and political sites instead of reading for tax. I have the sites for political futures bookmarked.

I just can't stop myself, but I come by it honestly enough. My maternal grandparents were deeply interested in politics and I guess I inherited the bug. Mind you, though, I am obnoxiously independent (and moderate) so I won't discuss my views here. They will stun some of you and shock others, no doubt, you all being the delicate flowers that you are, dear readers. And by delicate flowers, I mean staunch Democrats or deep-dyed Republicans (yes, actually, I am friends with--and even related to--both).

But I will say this: whatever your party affiliation, whoever you support, you should be hoping to see one notable result of Iowa be repeated tomorrow in New Hampshire. Young people voted, and lots of them. Hurrah for the renewal of democracy! And if you don't like the way they voted, stir your stumps and tell them why they should vote differently.

If True were to tell you 7 things about herself, one of them could be that she, too, is a political junkie. But she's much more willing to discuss it in public.

I am a political junkie as well- Landon and I been watching the New Hampshire results roll in on CNN. I told him all about the democratic process and he pretended to be interested while chewing on his duck. I even tried to discuss the politician's in an even- handed fashion, his daddy would have been proud ;)
