10 Things I like about Super Tuesday

Ok, so I love politics but I don't talk about them in public too much because it isn't good for me professionally. But I can say that I am happy for tomorrow. So they are, 10 Things I like about Super Tuesday.

1. My primary vote counts. This is the first time in my life that my primary vote ever mattered in a presidential election.

2. I don't feel like I am choosing "the lessor of two evils."

3. I can walk to my polling place.

4. I haven't been turned off by ugly attack ads (this has surprised me. I think maybe they are all on cable?)

5. It's a double event day, since it matches up with Mardi Gras.

6. It's the same week as the Super bowl, and really, there isn't too much else that is described as "super" any more, so we get it all in one week (if only a superman movie were released tomorrow).

7. There will be record voter turnout. The more people participate in democracy, the better it is.

8. Not having given money means not getting campaign phone calls. Ditto having vonage, I think.

9. Making punny jokes about "poll workers."

10. Listening to Derek Webb sing Savior on Capitol hill, and remembering that no matter who wins, they will likely let me down. (I guess I don't like that fact, but I love the song.)
