It's Super Tuesday – GO VOTE!

Published by Ryan Healy on February 5th, 2008 in Noteworthy | 8 Comments

Maybe it was all the beer and nachos getting the best of me, but as I watched Tom Brady and my favorite team, the New England Patriots walk off the field yesterday; not undefeated, not Super Bowl champions, but losers of their final game of the year, I was pretty disappointed.

I was ready to witness history. I wanted to watch my favorite team be crowned the best football team of all time. It didn't happen. The only history made was the New York Giants pulling one of the most improbable upsets of all time.

Well, I'm over it. I'm over it because in the grand scheme of things, football records won't have much of a place in the history books. Today, on the other hand, real history can be made.

It's Super Tuesday, and like my favorite Gen-Y political blogger, Constance Seré, said,

"It's like sports that actually count for something bigger than a title in the long run — what could be more exciting?"

Voters in 24 states will be casting votes for their respective party's nominee. On the democratic side, the choice is between a black man and a woman. No matter who is chosen, they will have a very legitimate shot at making history come November.

So please, if you live in one of the 24 states casting their ballots today, get out and vote. Don't wait until November. A vote now is worth ten times more than a vote in the general election.

So what are you waiting for? Go Vote!
