Well, I haven’t been feeling well. It’s hard to explain but my legs hurt all the time and I have what the doctor called “tremors” in my arm. I went straight to the doctor after school Wednesday, my doctor sent me to a neurologist, the neurologist talked to my doctor and they wanted to admit me to the hospital for testing, but I said I didn’t want that. The compromise is outpatient tests, so I’ve had a lot of blood drawn, yesterday I had an EEG, and today I’m having an MRI, but I won’t know anything from them until Monday.
I don’t want to miss too much school, I’m hoping to be able to go back Monday for one class but Tuesday I have 4 classes and it’s just really hard to sit still for very long (not that standing or moving is much better).
In other news, I wasn’t expecting Romney to drop out and I’m surprised (maybe even glad) at how well Huckabee is doing now. Should I speculate on who should team up together? McCain and Romney? No, they are at each other’s throats and aside from that I still don’t think they would make a good combination. Huckabee and Romney? I could live with that; it could work. McCain and Huckabee? This is my favorite combination, I would love to see them run together. What about Giuliani? I would only be in favor of Giuliani as VP if it was with someone very conservative, like Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani would be too left of right for me.

I posted this as a comment, but I felt the need to make it a post of its own as well.
Wow, all of a sudden 4 new comments on a post that’s 3 weeks old, and all from Ron Paul supporters. (I only approved 2 as the other 2 were just links telling me to “look at this,” if you aren’t a bait and switch don’t dress up like one).
First, don’t assume I’m not educating myself (reference: “No one can understand how his plan works by listening to a small sound bite.” What are you talking about?). Just because I’m leaning a different way than you doesn’t necessarily mean that I haven’t done the research or that I’m leaning the wrong way and I’m not going to tell you that you are either. From these last two posts I gather that both of you are making your decision based on your personal ideals which may be very different from mine.
Please, if you want to share your opinion on why you’re voting for a certain candidate, do so. Tell me why, tell me what your requirements are and how you believe he will fulfill them. Don’t tell me to research it, I already am.
Honestly, I have 2 days until I vote in the primary and I’m still uncertain who I’m going to vote for. FairTax is the main fault I find with Huckabee, because I don’t think it’s fair in the least. Doesn’t Paul support it as well?
To give a little more insight into how I choose who to vote for, I’ll say this: I don’t. I don’t choose who to vote for so much as I choose who not to vote for; I pick the lesser of the evils. Romney still has a chance to get my vote, if it weren’t for his stance on abortion (“against abortion except“), he would have it.
I welcome all opinions on this post, but please give specific support that is to the point.
Ah, I see now. I’ve been linked to by a Ron Paul advocate blog.

Candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, Rudy Giuliani spoke on my college’s campus today. Notice how I had to preface that with “Candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination,” that’s because I talked to someone today who didn’t know who he was; of all the Republican candidates Giuliani is probably the most widely recognized name, yet people still don’t know who he is. Pay attention!

I took advantage of my college newspaper (“Gull’s Cry”) press pass and skipped the very long line waiting to get in the conference room.
I actually recorded (video) the first 8 minutes of his speech (I need a higher capacity memory card) and I’m waiting for it to upload right now. Uploading to vimeo takes way too long, they need to work on that. Okay the video will be here later, so keep an eye on this post if you’re interested.

More pictures on my Flickr page.
I wore my Huckabee sticker, but no one aside from those I was with saw it because I kept my jacket on. Disappointing I know.
