I.M.O

Well, the Iowa parade has come and gone and we have the "top" three winners from the GOP establishment. Cruz, Trump and Rubio - with all the polls and discussion going around I can honestly tell you that to me Iowa doesn't matter and neither does New Hampshire. Based on delegates both Iowa and New Hampshire have pretty low numbers to make a difference. The only reason why these two states even matter is because they both vote earlier then any other state; that's it. What I do appreciate from the campaigns visiting the states and their towns/cities is that in brings in a large amount of money that in true nature is an influx in revenue. Speaking with my wife we both agree that the two states look forward to this every four years because to them is like a Black Friday of sorts. Winning Iowa doesn't guarantee a win for president - Ronald Reagan lost the Iowa Caucus and ended up becoming our 40th POTUS. Like every four years i'm going to sit back and evaluate the field and see where my logic and heart falls when it get closer to the primary.

Super Tuesday

Yes, I know this post is a bit late but from what I've been watching throughout the day it looks like the outcome will surprise a few people. I voted for Ron Paul and even if he doesn't get the nod from the party I would like to keep my integrity in place. Especially knowing that we might end up with Romney any how. For the many of you who voted today I would like to thank you very much for exercising you right to vote and for those of you who didn't because you just didn't feel like it can continue to do what you normally do "nothing". Can't wait to wake up tomorrow and see the results. I will have a follow up post of the outcome including the local ones.

Volunteers to honor...

While watching the news last night and again tonight online I want to send a special thank you to the couple that have taken the time to take the course and passing it with such a passion for the safety of their fellow neighbor and stranger. That couple is none other than Rick and Lynn Melchert. Thank you for taking the time to help the police force by offering your time and energy. What we need here in Toledo is something similar to what they have done but with the police vehicle problem we have this wonderful program won't work all that good here, but it would be nice for Toledo to look into it.
