Please help me...

I'll admit it, I have a problem. The first thing I do when I wake up is run to the computer to check the latest polls and headlines. Then I quickly peruse all of my favorite political blogs to catch up on anything that might have happened while I was sleeping. Don't worry...I do tear myself away from the computer to clean my house, play with my children, and cook dinner. It is, however, a painful separation. J-P took this picture last night to document my insanity. I was watching the debate and (at the same time) reading the reaction to it on all the blogs. Please ignore the messy house...the debate was priority number one. Cleaning up the family room was priority number two.


Perhaps one of the reasons this race is so intriguing to me is because Mitt Romney is a serious contender. As a result, there many people out there who are devoting their lives to spewing egregious, slanderous, anit-mormon rhetoric on all the political blogs. I find it thoroughly entertaining. I laugh out loud everyday. I don't know where people come up with this stuff. My favorite blog comment of the week: "Mormons believe things that are so crazy they should be arrested for what they believe!" Pure comedy. It will be interesting to see how the primaries play out.

M-A, That picture is hilarious. I'm laughing out loud. I am glad that you're keeping up with the latest news and that you're spending time with your kids. You have it all---who cares if the living room gets messy! Take care, Sarah

M-A, please post some of your favorite political blogs. I'm interested in reading them. We currently don't have TV, and my source of information comes from the Internet.

I don't endorse these sites, and I don't necessarily agree with everything they say. I could keep going but this is a start...you'll have to copy and paste them the browser, I am too lazy to make links. All major news websites have political sections too.

Wow! I hadn't seen a picture of your guys' place in a while. It looks different. Where did the book shelves go?

So, this morning on the radio they were replaying Barack Obama doing the Top 10 List on David Letterman and it was in regards to the elections, obviously. Anyway, one of Obama's comments was, "Point for Mitt Romney for being the Secreatary of Good-looking." I cracked up. :o)

It is all I want to hear about as well. I love NPR for this reason. I spend a lot of time listening to NPR. Last weeek was the Nevada State Caucus and MSNBC also held a debate here. It was everywhere and every canidate was in town. I can not get enough of it.

Okay, now I can understand. I am so fascinated by what the outside world has to say about us crazy Mormons. I can see now why you're so infatuated. I may have to check some of these out. I haven't followed it closely, but I see on MSN news updates and I've been surprised to see Mitt doing better than I thought.

Okay, Michelle, what's the deal? I finally figured out that YOU are MichelleMyBelle (I had no idea you read blogs let alone had one), I asked around and Heather finally confirmed that you have a blog but I can't get on it! How can I get to your blog?!

You've always been a source of info M-A. You forgot one link though, www.cougaroutpost.com (today's analysis)

Who listens to NPR (except for on the weekends)?

Mitt lost to a lie. It's so frustrating!

Who lives in Florida anyway?
