It's that time again...the Primary madness is in full swing. God Bless New Hampshire voters. The signs everywhere you go, the commercials nonstop, the flyers overflowing from the mailbox, and oh save us...the phone calls. This past weekend I actually found a way to make the phone calls fun. My husband and I had friends visiting and whenver the phone rang we all screamed which candidate we believed was calling. Once we all had our choice, I answered the phone and waited to see which prediction was right. It was so much fun...the person on the other end said "hello I'm calling with the Clinton campaign" and before they could go any further I would yell to the room "it's Hillary" I win!! Everyone would cheer and I would hang up the phone. I'm sure the volunteers at the other end thought we were cheering in support of the candidate. We actually looked forward to the phone ringing. At one point the doorbell rang...lets just say, that guy didn't know what hit him.
Another thought: Is it me, or have there been a lot more debates this time around? I think debates are a good idea, but I think they would be a lot more fun if after each one we could vote someone off the campaign trail just like they vote people off the reality shows. Then when it gets down to the final two, we call in our vote like American Idol. Now that is the American way!

This is GREAT! I can't wait until our Illinois primary gets closer! I will borrow your gameshow format for callers! I love the idea of running the campaigns like a reality show, too!
Here's to a GREAT '08!
