North Carolina actually gets a say

While I'm not looking forward to the Democratic nomination getting ugly, there's a bright side here.  In an election that everyone expected to be over in February, North Carolina's May primary will actually matter.  Between now and then, the only other large population state to vote is Pennsylvania.

Since North Carolina has been ignored in every presidential election since I was old enough to vote, and its primary has always been so late that the race was always decided by then, I'm pretty excited about this.  It's the first time I'll get a meaningful vote in a presidential election.

You know, I made my first presidential campaign contribution this year and my candidate had quite the showing in Ohio and Texas yesterday :)

Not a bad showing for my candidate in Mississippi last night either ;)
