2008 Election and CosmoGIRL!

Hi Smart Girls!

It was caucus day today in my home state of Washington, and my family and I joined thousands of people in Seattle to show our support for our candidate of choice. Pretty much everyone at my caucus location was a big-time Obama supporter, my family and I included.

Here’s a pic of us while we were waiting in a line that went around the block just to sign in (luckily it was a rare rain-free winter day in Seattle). It was cool to be a part of this day, and be out with the rest of the community to make sure our voices were heard . It’s going to be an exciting couple of months to see how this race ends up…

And while we’re on the topic of the 2008 election, I just read that CosmoGIRL is getting in on the action of political journalism. The mag has hired two teenage correspondents to write about the election for CosmoGIRL‘s website, CosmoGirl.com. Glenna Schubert, an 18-year-old college student from Washington, D.C. and 18-year-old Katie Gluek, a high school senior from Kansas, are traveling around and filing blog posts and video dispatches for CosmoGIRL. Check out their reports here!
