So, the Giants won last night! That was pretty awesome. It was the best Super Bowl I’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever, and I’m not just saying that because the Giants won. It was a really exciting game overall.

Tomorrow is the so-called “Super Tuesday” Presidential Primary. I’m definitely going to vote, and I suggest that everyone out there reading this do the same if you’re in a state where you can vote tomorrow. Everybody should vote, even if it’s for a candidate that has no chance of winning. I hate hearing people say that they don’t like the way politics are, so they aren’t going to vote. Even if you know you can’t change anything, you might as well do what you can by voting for what you believe in. Maybe all those dissatisfied votes would add up to make a difference. We’ll never know unless we try.

If anyone is curious about my opinion, I’m hoping for a big win for Barack Obama. He’s one of the only politicians in my adult lifetime that’s wanted to change the combative, bratty tone that politics have taken on in recent years–and definitely the only one that seems like he might be able to make some progress towards that goal. All of the other remaining candidates on both sides (except Ron Paul, I suppose) just seem like more of the same old Washington suits, playing the same old recurring characters that I’ve seen enough of already. I’d love to have a President who could say things that interest and inspire people instead of instilling fear or saying whatever the polls tell him/her to.

Obviously, this is just my opinion. Even if you disagree, I hope you vote tomorrow!
