*VOTING*

I have been horrible with voting in the past.  It seems like I am always registered at a different address than I am living and I am always wondering at the last minute what to do.  Well not this year!!!!!  I FINALLY went and took my Written Drivers Test to retain a California Drivers License {which I got a 100% on by the way-it was hard and I  studied!}.  Pathetic really, since I have lived here for four years now but I wasn't forced to get one until my Utah License expired last December-so anyway I finally was registered to vote at the correct address for once.   I was so proud of myself for voting!  For the first time I am so passionate about a presidential candidate.  I don't want to preach but this is my blog and I want to tell you that this country would be in a much better place if MITT ROMNEY were president.  And no, it is not because he is a Mormon.  It is beyond religion... I feel he is a grounded, family centered man with good strong values and ethics. I was first drawn to this man when he took the Salt Lake Olympics fiasco with all the corruption and turned it around WITHOUT being compensated even one dollar!  I am sorry but the first thing this country needs in a leader is more honesty and less "politics".  I was soooooo disappointed that he didn't win California.  To add more insult to injury  I felt very let down by some rather shady tactics that McCain used to sway his supporters to vote for Huckabee in states where he was behind, in order for Romney to lose.  Never the less, I am proud of myself for voting and hope that it is not to late for Romney!  I also would like too add that I read Hillary Clintons book a few years ago and she is a very smart, educated woman.  We may benefit greatly from a Woman's approach to leading our country.  I would support her in office over that slimy McCain any day!

Sorry, I'm not commenting on this particular blog, but I'm glad to hear that you voted. We are coming on the 17th until the 22nd. We're doing Disneyland for five days. So we'll see, but I didn't know if we could get together or not. I know the drive is more than I thought it would be, what do you think?

Yeah, I think today just sealed it -- I'm voting Democrat! It's not unusual for me though.
Anyway -- I am taking the drivers test tomorrow, the written one, and your post made me nervous!!

We loved Romney too, cant stand McCain! Its so frustrating huh! Yesterday though when Romney dropped out he said something profound, he said to still vote for a leader that will keep our troops in Iraq because we are so close to an end there it would be disastrous to leave right now (in other words vote for McCain). All I am saying is when Huckabee said that Romney is arrogant for saying he was taking his votes, who's arrogant now Huckabee? Romney was such the bigger person to look at the big picture and to see what matters to our nation first and not to worry about himself. Oh dont even get me started, Romney should have won. Darn it.

I am with you on the view of Romney! He is a good man who can take our country in the direction it needs to go. Unfortunately, if he is out our choices are Hillary and Hillary lite (McCain). Your comment that you would vote for Hillary over McCain confirms what I think and that is there is no way a man like McCain can win the presidency. If he is the republican nominee, I am voting for Obama. Unless Mitt wants to hop on the Independant bandwagon!
