It's So Good to be Needed

I'm so used to the Kentucky primary being about local elections and this year everything is flip-flopped.  I am woefully uninformed about what local races are up tomorrow because I have been so focused on the Bluegrass's role on the national stage.  I've been speculating for months that my primary vote may actually count.  Here we are less than 24 hours away and my vote will matter tomorrow. 

Yes, Obama all but has it wrapped up and speculation is that after tomorrow he will have the majority of pledged delegates by whatever metric is offered (i.e. the official one or the Clinton one). And yes, Obama will lose Kentucky and win Oregon.  But my vote can be one vote for him that can help make it as close as possible here. And since nothing is official yet my vote is still a vote the nation is watching.

I can tell the nation is watching because there is a buzz in the air.  My day started hanging Obama GOTV fliers on doors reminding folks to vote tomorrow.  In an hour I am headed down the street to see Bill Clinton speak.  Yes, Bill Clinton is in little ol' Danville, Kentucky today and I will go see him because - even though I'm not voting for Hillary, when will I ever get a chance again to see a former President up close and personal (or from hundreds of yards away over the heads of other people)?

Then after the Clinton rally I'm off to meet Michelle Obama - which is what I'm really looking forward to. My loyal phone calling (I hate doing calls by the way!) and my door hanging talents are being rewarded with a limited access event with Michelle Obama tonight and I am so excited. As I have mentioned here before I think very highly of her and am excited to meet the future First Lady - a woman of true class and smarts.

Stay tuned for pics and stories from the rest of the day and night as the excitement mounts until we head to the polls tomorrow!
