I am so into this presidential election, I'm beginning to stare at myself as if I am the geeky kid with too much mentally stored information raising their hand at every question in US History class. Not only did I watch a debate, I watched the AARP debate. And I am nowhere near retirement, convertibles or a nice little two-bedroom trailer in Sarasota. Spooky. But in a good way. Ever since I was a seedling, I've dreamed of voting for a woman or a person of color for President. Now add to that some other dynamo candidates and candidate spouses and big issues like healthcare, the war and reproductive justice and this mama is in heaven. HEAVEN! Thankfully, I'm not up there shooting off activist emails to senators and talking Social Security benefits alone. There are lots and lots of parents out there just as geeked out as I am. Here are just a few (and if I missed your candidate of choice, cry me a river...then add a link to your own political rant in the comments since this isn't CNN, people):
