This might have been a sign that I shouldn’t go get a sugar-filled iced coffee drink after going to the gym, but who knows? So I go to the JBK after the gym to check my mail, and I order an iced caramel machiatto, because I love them. And what does the girl tell me? Her manager told her that they can’t make iced coffee drinks anymore. What?! Oh well, I guess I’ll just get a hot caramel machiatto, and then a cup of ice…and just ice it myself.
In other news, Mitt Romney is out of the race. Who would have thought that would happen? Many people, actually, but who is counting? Ron Paul, however, is a trooper! He’s still in the race, even with only like….5 delegates to his name. But that’s quite alright. John McCain has nearly 700 delegates, and Huckabee (number 2 in delegates) has like 150 or something. That’s a tough one.
I can think of a couple of reasons why guys like Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are still in the race. These are just my opinions, though. First of all, each of them is taking a major stand. This campaign this year is about a lot of firsts…first woman, first black man, oldest president, etc. What sets these two gentlemen apart is that they stray from the party lines. Ron Paul is a very practical man, who draws his every answer from the Constitution. He calls himself a libertarian. But he knows better than to run as a libertarian. I honestly do not know much about Mike Gravel. I feel bad for him because the media doesn’t shine on him like it does Hillary and Barack. But he calls himself a progressive Democrat. Hillary says that too, though. Second reason they’re still in the race…money. If either of them was out of money, they would have dropped out already. That’s what happened to John McCain the last time he ran. So the bottom line is I don’t think we’ve seen the last of these two guys. They’re going to keep running until they cannot run anymore.
Seriously, if you aren’t registered to vote, do it! Your voice makes a difference!
