Winter hits my 'little piece of heaven' ...

The temperature is dropping as I write! It is expected to hit the teens tonight. BRRRRRRRRRR! I wanted it to be more like winter ... I forgot you have to be careful what you ask for. It is the end of January, it should be cold! I am not complaining, just commenting. Everyone here in SC is still talking about the Democratic debate held in Myrtle Beach at the Palace Theatre and broadcast on CNN this past Monday evening. Yes, it was an honor. I understand it set some records. What it did for me was cause embarrassment for the Democratic candidates ... they acted like elementary school children bickering over who's dad was the best or siblings "tattling" on one another. Issues, problem-solving, foreign policy, economy, the war in Iraq - should not the focus be on these? The Republican debate the week before was much more civil and covered topics of concern to voters. Way to go, GOP! The Democratic Primary is this Saturday, January 26, 2008 in SC. If you are a registered voter in SC, remember YOUR vote counts! However, remember if you voted in the Republican Primary - you may NOT vote in the Democratic Primary! The Democratic race is close and you could decide the outcome ... VOTE! Sad news ... death of Heath Ledger. He will be missed by his many fans. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. It is past my bedtime and I still have papers to write for class ... so, chat with you next time!

VOTE!

Our GOP Primary in South Carolina is tomorrow, Saturday, January 19th.

In previous years, the candidate that wins SC wins the election in November ... talk about pressure!

My personal choice is Mike Huckabee. Please check out his web site, http://www.mikehuckabee.com and see what you think. I had the honor of greeting Mr. Huckabee in Florence on Thursday at our airport for a short press junket stop. I must admit I was undecided. However, he represented all the characteristics of the man I want in the White House and his issues are my issues. My decision is now one of pride to be casting my vote for the next President of the United States in 2008, Mike Huckabee!

If you are a registered voter in the US, please exercise this special privilege and vote in your primary and then in the election in November, 2008! EVERY VOTE DOES COUNT.
