The skies have finally opened up and given us some much needed rain. The wind is crazy but welcome all the same. I love the sound of rain.
Hard to imagine a weekend without anything scheduled - how sweet is that. Coming off the last few over-scheduled weekends, it is a welcome break. The kids are always busy but at least I will get a break.
There isn't much politically that South Carolina gets right, but I have to say that tomorrows primary vote on a Saturday is the right thing to do. I have been saying for years that Tuesday voting is a travesty because some people really can't get off work. Tuesday is a terrible day for an election but it is unlikely to get changes. Allowing people to vote on a Saturday or a Sunday would make polls available to more people. But we know that the Republican party isn't interested in more people voting. It is just the opposite. The last year has seen a slew of laws passed by Republican state assemblies and governors. From voter id cards to redistricting, it is all about keeping voters away from the polls.
Gingrich seems to have made a bigger ripple than thought possible. I am hoping for a long drawn out slog through the Spring. Plus, the Iowa Republican party has just announced that Romney didn't actually win Iowa. It was Rick Santorum. To make matters more interesting, the evangelicals in SC are now embracing Gingrich's infidelity as unimportant. Damn hypocrites.
The political season is taking off and it promises to be an interesting one. I can't wait!!!
