For the first time in my lifetime, the Indiana Primary has become an important step in the process of deciding who will become the next president of the United States.
The hardest part, for this household anyway is deciding on who to vote for. We are not “hardline” party voters. We instead vote for the issues that are more important to us, and try to make an effort to vote for a person who will do their job, and do it well.
Since G.W.’s administration has made everything under the sun a nightmare, we are voting Democratic this time. One point I have been making since it has become a Obama vs. Clinton showdown is that history will be made no matter who wins the nomination.
Both canidates have made appearances in Bloomington.
Obama showed up for the Little 500, and was here last night. He gave a speech at Assembly Hall with a crowd of 13,000 present. I sat comfortably at home and watched it via a live feed on the Herald-Times website.
Hillary, Chelsea and Bill Clinton have all made appearances here. While I have not gotten a chance to see any of them speak, I haven’t heard much buzz regarding those appearances either.
When all of this began I was leaning towards voting for Hillary, but I have changed my mind, I think. The turning point for me was last night when Obama said that, his entire campaign was funded by the american people, one $25 check at a time.”
Last night, we went to my grandmothers for dinner. We have to drive by the airport to get there, and saw a large plane. It had an american flag and “The United States” printed on the sides of it. We knew it was for Obama. While there, we were watching the news and they had a live feed from Indianapolis. He was there speaking. About 11pm, long after his speech here was over, we felt that plane leave. It was an experience unto itself.
This country needs a change, and while I see it happening with either canidate, I see it happening better with Obama behind the wheel.
