*Warning: Political Content*

Disclaimer: I have been trying to remain relatively non political in these blogs, because Beloit promotes students from every political faction and even those not politically involved to come here. The truth of the matter is, however, that I have always been very politically active, and this blog is going to be in that vain. sorry if you disagree with my politics, I am open to discussion :)

The Wisconsin primary is on Tuesday. Wisconsin has same day voter registration and you do not need to register for a party, which means open ballots. Beloit has suddenly become a political town. Both Chelsea Clinton and Barack Obama himself are coming to the college Tomorrow. Chelsea will be coming at 2:00 to Pearson's for an "informal presentation" (whatever that means), and Obama will be holding a rally here at 10:00 in the evening for a rally. Though both of these events are open to the public, I doubt too many non-students will be coming to the Clinton thing because it is at a time where people who work cant show up.

I would love to go to both (though I already know who I am voting for). I wont be able to see Chelsea, unfortunately, because of my internship. I will be volunteering for Obama tomorrow night (i am for Obama only 'cause Edwards dropped out). I have actually seen Obama three times in person before. Me and another guy drove two buses from Beloit to hear him announce he was running last year in Springfield Illinois, and I have seen him twice in Madison. this picture is actually of me shaking his hand!

Interestingly, no republican candidates are coming to Beloit. Actually, I have not heard anything about any of the republicans coming to Wisconsin, which I find odd. if they did come to Beloit, I might see them too, just for the sake of knowing what they stand for etc.

Don't forget to vote on Tuesday (if you live in WI and WA) no matter who you are voting for.


On another note, it was great to meet the Presidential Scholarship candidates this weekend...good luck!
