Let's Get Political (to be read in Olivia Newton John singing voice)

So pretty much all my political information comes from one source, bff Caitlin. And because of her influence, I know a lot about the Utah House of Representatives and all their bills.
With the Presidential race going on, you know about 33% of our conversations include healthcare reform, taxes, Washington DC, and how handsome the republican party seems to be right now. 
The last week, before I moved away (next post, just wait), I went down to bff Caitlin's house in Vegas for one last hurrah. Whilst there an impromptu rally for the newly appointed Vice Presidential Candidate was tweeted out, and guess where it was, at a high school twenty minutes from Caitlin's house. 
You can not imagine the tiger-like agility with which Caitlin reserved tickets for us to go to that rally. 
Though there was blistering heat, and I mean upwards of 110 degrees, we went to that rally the next day. 
My personal highlight of the event was the Palo Verde marching band that bedazzled us, and it was only their second day of band camp. 
But Mr. Ryan is also a vivacious speaker, he got those devote republican senior citizens stomping their feet in concurrence the whole time. 
Caitlin was super stoked. 

On the inside. 

Get this, not two days later I experienced the second political rally of my lifetime. Bff Caitlin has been helping with the congress campaign of the Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love. Mia had a rally in West Valley City (the ghetto of Salt Lake Valley) where Senator John McCain spoke. You best believe Caitlin, and subsequently I, was all over that mess. I enjoyed it immensely, McCain is basically a stand up comedian, or at least he is when not on his own campaign trail. My favorite of the night, 
"Since my loss in the last presidential race I have slept like a baby, sleep two hours, cry two hours, sleep two hours, cry two hours."
I cracked up. 
The guy in front of me had a huge head. 

Being political hasn't turned out to be as boring as I had always thought, maybe I'm finally 
getting old and responsible.
