I’m such a nerd, I know. But I have been COUNTING DOWN to Super Tuesday!!!!

Because I don’t like to fight, I don’t talk very much about my political leanings. I mean, I make no secret about the fact that I’m rather liberal, but I don’t usually get into the juicy details of why and what. But today, I must make a special exception! Because it’s SUPER TUESDAY!!!!

Let me start off by telling you that I’m a teeny tiny blue dot in an excessively red state. Not just a red state, but a Mitten state (that’s a state full of people who are smitten with Mitt). Let’s face it. I’m a democrat in Utah. I’m the only person I know who’s NOT going to be voting for Romney.

In Utah, you have to be a registered republican in order to vote in the primary, so I obviously WON’T be voting in the Republican primary. Hahaha. But, if someone held a gun to my head and FORCED me to vote for a republican, it would be McCain.

I know, get over your gasping. I’m not saying that I want McCain to be president, but between the two of the Republicans that people are actually talking about, he’s the one I’d pick if I had to pick one. Why? Three reasons: torture, wire-tapping, and pork barrel politics. These are three things that McCain has spoken out against, and I respect him tremendously for it. In Utah, you are UNAMERICAN and UNPATRIOTIC and even a TERRORIST if you don’t agree with every single word that falls out of Mr. Bush’s mouth. Hahaha. They’re the ones supporting torture and illegal detention and wiretapping, and I’M the terrorist. Um…. Anyway, Mr. McCain has a teeny tiny spark of sanity, reason, and intellect that I do not see elsewhere in his party.

FORTUNATELY, no one, yet, has put a gun to my head and forced me to vote for a Republican. (Though, believe me, there are PLENTY of guns around– I live in a place where the only part of the constitution anyone actually holds dear is the second ammendment…) PHEWWWW!

I had lunch with some of my bloggy friends the other day. More about that later. But I bring it up now to tell you about a bet I made with Candace Salima (yes, you heard me. Two mormons were betting) about Mr. Romney. I was clearly betting with a Mitten, who believes firmly that Mr. Romney is our next Commander in Chief. I am of the humble opinion that the man is utterly un-electable. So, we made a bet. Here we are shaking hands:

So, point is, if Romney becomes our next president, I owe her lunch. If not, she owes me lunch. I’d say I’m sitting in a pretty good position… Plus, if Romney became president, owing Candace lunch would be the LEAST of my worries (as I frantically pack my bags for Canada…).

So, how exactly will I be voting today? Well? hahahaha. Most of you know me pretty well by now. This will be a fun game. You have to GUESS which democrat I’ll be voting for in the primary today… Go on, guess!

And, because I’m curious like that, I want to know who you, my gorgeous and adorable readers, will be voting for (or already voted for, or would vote for if you were an American, or whatever). By the way, these are totally anonymous. I have no way of knowing how you voted on how you will vote.

Ahhh, won’t this be fun?

Regardless of how I vote or how I don’t vote, my expectations are that the nominees will turn out to be McCain vs. Clinton. That’s how I see this thing going down once the primaries are over. And then I expect Clinton to win the big election and be our next president. That’s the future according to Brillig. What do you think?
