Canned Heat Mama? I still love you.

It took me up until the night before the MA vote to make my decision. I went through just about every rationale why 'so and so' was better. Each side had compelling reasons for my vote.

I have been a Democrat since I first earned the right to vote, at 18, for McGovern. Heard all the names, and insults, thrown my way, but I survived, to come back and vote another day.

This race seemed different, not just because a lot more is riding on it for my party, but I actually like both candidates. They are "Lifers." 30-40 years dedicated to your country! Fighting for their dreams.

I am happy my decision is done, regardless of who wins the primary, I will be there fighting for our Democratic Party.
We have way too much to lose. I worry the most about losing our freedoms.

IN THE END, ALL OUR VOTES MATTER.
