Politics in Person

A few weeks ago, a group in which I am involved had an opportunity to meet with a local politician running for a state-wide office.  We spent about 2 hours talking.  I really enjoy politics up close and personal, but watching it from afar is not as interesting and exciting.  The other exciting thing is to engage with someone who has similar views to mine.  Living in West Texas, that does not happen very much.  I am glad I at least always vote, even if sometimes, I do not make a selection on the ballot.
