Have I mentioned how much I like your blog?

This is an interesting election year. There is a palpable feeling of excitment and interest in the air. Mary is a poli-sci nerd so I expect a lot of political talk from her, but I am hearing this sort of chatter from a lot of people, some of whom I don’t think have ever really cared before. I know people who went to the cacauses and enjoyed being part of the process.
I don’t know how to make much sense of the results yet. I really want to see ‘The Dream Ticket’ happen.

To touch on your statement about the reason for the high turnout, there were a lot of people who seemed genuinely happy to be there, and excited about getting involved (beyond just casting a ballot). I think just having your contest matter more than it usually does (I think that the ’04 race was over, or all but over, by the time Minnesotans caucused) was a big help with the numbers.
