I know I know, Active Rain is about real estate not politics. Well frankly, I think we've all learned that real estate is greatly affected by politics both local and national. I have decided to venture beyond market stats and pretty photos of houses.
On my local politics site Porter County Politics I have been very strong in my support for John McCain for the Presidential primaries which start in two weeks. You can head there for polls and videos and commentaries aplenty. After I endorsed John McCain, I began a streak of getting 300-500 hits a day, a lot more than normal. It's kept me pretty busy, responding to comments and watching google reader posts aplenty.
- " John McCain, the candidate most identified with Bush's stance on Iraq, once looked as if this issue would bury his campaign. But the success of the surge is helping his poll numbers, and now, he is trying to return Iraq to the forefront of voters' minds. Last week, he got another boost: U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut - who was the Democrats' vice presidential candidate just seven years ago - announced that he was supporting McCain, a Republican, in the 2008 presidential race. The White House has embraced Lieberman due to his support for the war, which almost cost him his political career" From Harretz.com
I won't go on and on here on the Rain, but my experience in the Rain has been one of education and growth. The same holds true for playing with politics. To think that having an opinion gained me a three fold increase in traffic to my local politics site? I am supporting John McCain for President, mostly because I think he's the only candidate that can beat Hillary, simple.
I'm going to post this to the Iowa section, since they speak first.
