South Carolina Republican Debate

So my husband and I have been married for 2 years. For the first year and a half, we lived about ten minutes outside of Washington D.C. and really got a taste of the D.C. political culture. A lot of people in our ward worked in the pentagon, were government workers, etc. One of the ladies in my ward offered me a job to work with her as a campaign fundraiser. Basically we worked on different congressional, senatorial, and presidential campaigns, and the NGA and raised money for them. A lot of times I would be on the phone with something and they would ask me my thoughts on a recent political news something or other and I had NO idea about who the politician was or what the issue was. Needless to say, I started getting involved with CNN, Fox, etc. to be caught up on the political news. I just stopped doing the fundraising last month to do school full time, but my hubby and I still try to keep up with the political arena. Therefore, many of our date nights the past few months has been watching the republican debates together. We watched it last night (he is in Oregon so we just texted our thoughts back and forth) and it was pretty interesting. I myself am pro-Romney, but I thought it was a good debate for Santorum as well last night. I also liked some aspects of what Ron Paul talked about with the budget cuts with military defense. Anywho, I know that politics can be a touchy subject and I've learned from experience that it is a topic to never bring up over Christmas dinner, but I feel like I'm filling my civic duty by watching the debates. Its one of those 'bonding' things with Steele and I and I'm able to have more conversations with my parents and grandparents and kind of link the generation gap more by being updated on what is going on. I don't think I would have gotten into it if we hadn't gone to DC but I think its good to stay involved. I'm not going to get into a political debate via blogging...soo...thats a wrap!
