Reflections on the Art of Canvassing.

posted by Seth in ,

I’ve been thinking about taking a political science class for awhile now, and luckily for me, I finally got around to putting one in my schedule this semester. It’s a nice enough class, and I think I might take an International Relations or Comparative Politics course next semester. Anyway, the big project for my political [...]

SUPER OKAY TUESDAY.

Whoooo!
I’ve been watching SUPER TUESDAY! coverage on CNN since about 1:00. I’m sort of oscillating from complete apathy to mingled crinkly fear and excitement seizing my heart like the onset of cardiac arrest or maybe a fugue.

posted by Seth in ,

My mother and my stepdad (Jason), who are not what I would call politic creatures, called me out of my dimly lit lair the other night to ask me who I thought was going to be the next President of the United States. Feeling a bit cheeky, I responded with Ron Paul and grinned impishly. [...]
