That's right!! You get to vote on Tuesday!!!
The big deal at our caucus was from mostly older women who insisted that as a woman you HAVE to vote for Hillary because we as women have EARNED this...an argument I find so interesting, for so many reasons. I still voted for Obama. I wish I had to time and energy (and mental power) to write down all my thoughts on this race. To me it's a fascinating study in psychology.
Yeah, somehow I find that logic (i.e. "Clinton is a woman therefore you must vote for her) somewhat bizarre, but it seems to be a very generationally-driven mindset.
I *do* get to vote tomorrow, which I am very excited about. Hell, you have to get excited about something in this dreary winter!
