In America, it’s Super Tuesday! Most people have no idea what that means. As an avid political watcher, Super Tuesday is where 1/5th of the states hold their Presidential Nominating Contests. So, politically, today is a big deal.

As always, remember to register, and to vote! 🙂

Decide on some imperfect Somebody and you will win, because the truest truism in politics is: You can’t beat Somebody with Nobody. – William Safire

Andy was sent this website and as he knows that I’m fascinated by all things political he sent it on to me. 🙂 It’s not surprising to me that I ended up on Team Huntsman.

Finally. I’m done with all my classes for the term. This makes me happy.

While I would love to rant and rave on and on about how fantastic I was. I really don’t have the energy and I’m really just glad this term is over. Hopefully I can relax for the next two weeks, before we start all over again.

For those who have been riveted. I wanted to put up my final speech. I know my final grade already and I’m pleased with the outcome.

Enjoy.

The beginning of the speech, for the first minute, I showed the following clip, feel free to watch it before the speech.

And without further ado?

My final speech, a persuasive on why voting is important.

Vooooooooooooooooote…..

It’s almost that time and in Oregon since we do it by mail. You’ll start seeing your ballots show up in your mail box. I know you’re probably tired of seeing the political ads already on TV but we’ve got another month or so. So hang on, hunker down and VOTE!

If you’re in Oregon, there’s still time to register, here’s the Secretary of State timeline for this election…

August 24 voters’ pamphlet filing deadline
September 18 ballots mailed to long-term absent voters (overseas and military)
