I didn’t do too much this weekend. I did get some book keeping done and the normal house work.
We made sure to catch the debates Saturday. It was interesting. Unfortunately Oregon is closed primary state and we really don’t like to register with anyone party, I’m down as unaffiliated.   So I’m trying to decide (if it isn’t too late) if I want to change my registration to be able to vote in the primary.
I never had to register with a party, Indiana is an open primary. You could be a registered Dem and ask for the Rep ticket to vote…….and considering that Indiana is mostly a red state with very few Dem running, we’ve done that a few times just to vote against some really horrible people.
I did come across that they are putting the option of an open primary on November’s ballot, so that is cool. I just hope that it succeeds. I hate having to be pegged, I prefer to vote for the person not the party……..even though in this climate I’m very anti-GOP with this administration.
Here was an interesting article that I found about trying to run a campaign totally different from the past : Inside Obama’s Dream Machine
I would love to see McCain win over the other GOP candidates.  There is a lot of issues that I don’t agree with on him……..prochoice being the main one, but I love that he is not the rest of the GOPers even though he tried. In some ways reminds me of Bob Dole years ago. He is more of true Republican then the rest are and if the Dems blew it, I don’t think I would feel so defeated or screwed like I did when Bush the moron got reelected.
When it comes to the Dems……I’m not sure who I want, right now I guess the one that beats the GOP……..Harold and I have discussed that an Obama/Edwards ticket would be great.
We just watched a show on Oregon’s PBS on Andrew Jackson……..that was a complicated man. Did some good…..helped to change the system where the everyday man had more of say in the election, but did so much damage at the same time…….Trail of Tears…..
