Super Tuesday was exciting to me and an accomplishment for the Democratic party. I have always held primary elections to be more important and effective than the general elections. People seem to be more passionate about primary because they focus on the stance of the candidates and make the voter feel like their vote really does count. I will not be as excited about the general election in November because of the electoral college system. I do not support this system and it makes me feel as if my vote does not really count. I am a die hard Democrat and no matter if I decide to vote or not, Alabama will always be a Republican state. I sometime feel like voting in general elections is a waste of my time. I am excited to have both Obama and Clinton as candidates for the Democratic party. It does not surprise me that Obama was picked over Clinton in certain states even though he is an African American male. This does not surprise me because black men were given the right to vote before women who did not receive that right until 1910. I think a lot of men are scared to see the country being ran by a women. I support Obama but I would not be disappointed at all if it was Clinton over Obama because I feel that both are great candidates.
