What's Wrong?

Well, I haven't been feeling well. It's hard to explain but my legs hurt all the time and I have what the doctor called "tremors" in my arm. I went straight to the doctor after school Wednesday, my doctor sent me to a neurologist, the neurologist talked to my doctor and they wanted to admit me to the hospital for testing, but I said I didn't want that. The compromise is outpatient tests, so I've had a lot of blood drawn, yesterday I had an EEG, and today I'm having an MRI, but I won't know anything from them until Monday.
I don't want to miss too much school, I'm hoping to be able to go back Monday for one class but Tuesday I have 4 classes and it's just really hard to sit still for very long (not that standing or moving is much better).

In other news, I wasn't expecting Romney to drop out and I'm surprised (maybe even glad) at how well Huckabee is doing now. Should I speculate on who should team up together? McCain and Romney? No, they are at each other's throats and aside from that I still don't think they would make a good combination. Huckabee and Romney? I could live with that; it could work. McCain and Huckabee? This is my favorite combination, I would love to see them run together. What about Giuliani? I would only be in favor of Giuliani as VP if it was with someone very conservative, like Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani would be too left of right for me.

Giuliani, Live

Candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, Rudy Giuliani spoke on my college's campus today. Notice how I had to preface that with "Candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination," that's because I talked to someone today who didn't know who he was; of all the Republican candidates Giuliani is probably the most widely recognized name, yet people still don't know who he is. Pay attention!



I took advantage of my college newspaper ("Gull's Cry") press pass and skipped the very long line waiting to get in the conference room.

I actually recorded (video) the first 8 minutes of his speech (I need a higher capacity memory card) and I'm waiting for it to upload right now. Uploading to vimeo takes way too long, they need to work on that. Okay the video will be here later, so keep an eye on this post if you're interested.

I wore my Huckabee sticker, but no one aside from those I was with saw it because I kept my jacket on. Disappointing I know.

Mike Huckabee?

That is the question.

This describes my feelings right now:


A bit torn on Ron Paul. After doing a little more self-educating on the candidates I'm now on the line between Paul and Huckabee. If you'd like to try to sway me in either direction, feel free to voice your opinions in the comments.




I went to the local Republican forum today. I had never been to one before but it was pretty much how I expected it to be. Romney's table had cookies and brownies. McCain didn't have a table at all, just 3 or 4 people standing behind signs. Paul had a bunch of hippies and face painting. Huckabee's table was perhaps, no, make that exactly, how a campaign would be presented in a Hollywood movie, complete with small children running around with his bumper stickers on their clothes. Giuliani and Thompson both had a very subtle presence.

The hippies scared me away from Paul's table and in the end I left with about 10 Huckabee bumper stickers and we currently have a Huckabee sign in our yard.
