Primary Colors

Today was primary election day and I went to vote. It was a hard decision for me. As most of you know, I am a democrat. But this year, the choice was harder than usual. Most of the time, I look at the candidates' stance on important topics. But, this time I looked for strategy. It's unfortunate, but I think that our country still has a lot of closed-minded people that would never elect a woman or a black man into the office of president. For me, this time, it was all about which candidate I thought might be able to open some of those minds and actually give the Republicans a run for their money. After weighing my options and consulting with one of my Democrat friends, I cast my vote. We will see how it all turns out. May the best win! (Ha, you thought I would say "May the best Man win" and then you would have been able to figure out who I voted for! I'm not giving it up that easy!) Whoever ends up winning in the end, I hope that they will lead with both their heart and their head.
