Update! Mitt Romney is out of the race! I didn't see that coming so early.


Super Tuesday didn't turn out to be so super for any of the candidates it would seem. Hillary and Barack are still battling it out and fighting over who got how many delegates and on the republican side things aren't any better. Huckabee and Romney are fighting over who is the real contender and neither are in my opinion. I believe it will be John McCain on the Republican side when it comes convention time. I'm not so sure on the Dem's side because I thought Hillary would take a commanding lead on Tuesday but that didn't happened. I believe Mr. Obama did better than anyone would believe.

Tuesday opened my eyes a bit. I do not believe a republican can win this election simply because of the sheer numbers coming out to vote for the democrats. The Democrat party is bringing voters out of the woodwork and their numbers voting outpaced the republicans voting sometimes 3 to 1. For example in one state a million people would vote on the democrat side and 400 thousand would vote on the republican side and this was even happening in the south, republican strongholds! This can only be credited to the democratic candidates firing up their supporters with hope, enthusiasm and passion while the republican party is not making it's base happy with the choices they have.

No doubt this is an historic election, the first woman and or the first black candidate who honestly has a chance to win the highest office in the land! And it's going to be a dog fight all the way to the White House I believe. But enough of politics for today because as I stated in my first post, I still don't know if there is any hope anymore. I want there to be, but nothing has changed my mind yet and that is sad. That last statement just makes me shake my head at myself, but that's how I really feel. Regardless these candidates may not be chosen until the very night of the convention and that will make some interesting political watching for sure.

On another note, my husband and I are going to try and lose some weight. We are making a video diary of it and maybe one day I will be brave enough to post them online. Maybe.
