Primaries

I got a phone call yesterday from Caroline Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. And today both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama called me! I feel so special!

I feel a little silly admitting it, but I find it interesting that I can actually hear the voices of these people on the other end of my very own telephone line. For some reason, unlike typical sales calls, I do not mind getting a call in the middle of dinner when I get to hear Hillary or Barack on the line. Maybe it is because I know these particular calls are temporary and will abruptly stop after today. Aside from that, a little part of me feels like I am actually important to the candidates when I get their calls. Although I am well aware that every other registered Democrat in the state of North Carolina is getting these phone calls, they have succeeded in making me feel necessary and important, like my vote in particular counts. This will be the first primary that I have voted in in the thirteen years since I've been granted the right to vote. The reason for this is most definitely not the phone calls alone, but I don't think they hurt. I look forward to doing my duty in tomorrow's primary and, from what he said when he called me today, I really think that Mr. Obama will appreciate my vote!
