Texas helps make history
It's fun that Texas helped make history tonight, as John McCain clinched the Republican nomination after wins in the Lone Star State and elsewhere.
What a crazy ride McCain's had, after losing all those Summer 2007 primaries and being written off by pundits. Oh wait, there weren't any primaries in the summer, were there? But there were some setbacks, to be sure, although his campaign probably benefited from the setbacks as opposed to a coronation.
It looks like Ohio will go to Clinton tonight, and she may well win the popular vote in Texas (although it appears that Obama will claim more Texas delegates, thanks to the Texas Dems making a complete mess of their primary system in our great state).
Fun stuff! I've been turned off by national politics for quite a few years now, but I'm actually enjoying it this time around. Hell, it's almost as good as The West Wing.

Who did you vote for?

I could share, but then that would sort of defeat the purpose of the private ballot. :)
What's funny as I'm typing this is that I google is supplying a John McCain ad on both my horizontal and vertical ad strips!
