Drowsy, heavy-eyed remarks on Primary Night

First of all, I want to apologize and assure my classmates that I will soon comment on their blogs as well, and I greatly appreciate the comments left on my entries :).

So, it was pretty exciting to vote in the primary today. Despite how liberal my previous political post may seem, I am actually a supporter of Mitt Romney. It is not because he is Mormon, though. I mean, if Harry Reid were running for President of the US, he being a Mormon as well, I wouldn't vote for him because I don't agree with his political idealogy. Anyway, I wasn't surprised at all to see Romney kicked everyone else's butt in this state. That's fine, but I was disappointed to see what happened in my home state of Georgia. The Georgia GOP fell to Huckabee, desafortunadamente. Most of his vote came from Evagelicals in the counties outside of metropolitan Atlanta. I have nothing against Evangelicals; I mean, I was raised among them, and nearly all my best friends were Evangelical at some point. However, I know that the fact that Huckabee is a Baptist minister definitely helped his prospects out in the country areas of Georgia. Romney did win my home county, though, which has been traditionally a very conservative county.
Georgia was in political limbo for a while. At first, everyone predicted Huckabee would take it all. Then, some of Georgia's top state senate leaders started endorsing Romney. Then Georgia's two national senators endorsed McCain last week. Senators Isakson and Chambliss may have been speaking their minds, but I think they shot themselves in the political foot. I must commend them if it was their heartfelt opinion, though. I really don't want to demean or demoralize anyone for expressing his or her sincere opinion. The beauty of America is that we can do that; we don't have to vote just one party or risk government officials raping us of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I caught myself complaining of the long line at the polls today, but then I realized that I didn't have to avoid gunfire to get to the polls. I didn't have to make a blood oath to vote for the only candidate on the ballot.

Possible tickets and my short, exhaustion-induced, mostly inconsequential snapshot opinion:
McCain/Giuliani=I could seriously consider this one
McCain/Huckabee=don't want two fiscally liberal conservatives running the White House
Romney/Thompson=I could definitely consider it, though I don't think it will happen at this point
Clinton/Bayh=I don't think so
Obama/Edwards=No thanks
Obama/Richardson=I can maybe see advantages to this one
