2010 Midterms

Some people like football or baseball or even tennis. I like politics. I remember back in 1996 waking up after election day and mom told me that Bill Clinton won the election and was still the president, and it made me kind of sad. I remember that when I would play with my matchbox cars had a limo and I would sometimes pretend that Bob Dole was the president who drove the limo and I had this red convertible that Bill Clinton would drive around in. Its kind of funny that at 9 years old I had Bill Clinton pegged as a party boy even before that whole Lewinsky scandal broke out. But I digress. The point is I like politics and the past couple years have been really interesting to say the lease.

Living in California's capitol city gives me some pretty cool opportunities that I just didn't have in Fremont. Last Sunday I got to meet Carly Fiorina who is running for the US Senate. It was really cool. We were all there making phone calls in the campaign office and she came in followed by a bunch of news cameras and reporters and shook everyone's hands. Then she gave a quick motivational speech and then stood right in front of me to talk to the reporters. Apparently the footage was on the news but I didn't get to see it. Then on her way out she patted me on the shoulder as she told us all to keep up the good work. It was so cool! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture with her but I got a picture of her, which is almost as good haha.

Hopefully she wins! It would be nice to have someone from CA in office that I actually voted for.
