Primary season?

Obamas inauguration was a truly magical moment, we had the election of the first African American president; the election of the first president with a Muslim background and George W. Bush was finally out of office. To me these are all signs of our country going in the right direction. But wait, aren’t there other elections happening right now? When it is not presidential primary season many forget that there are plenty of other elections and primary’s happening that could affect the districts they live in. yet as I looked at major political news sources I found that the information they had about these primary’s and upcoming elections was nowhere to be found. The Huffington post had recent primary results as they came in, but no information about who was running, what they represent or even there voting records from previous years. All of a sudden a story broke. Christine O’Donnell a representative of Sarah Palins newly founded Tea Party won the GOP primary in Delaware—a position vacated by Vice President Biden. CNN.com reported that this nomination completely reshaped the playing field; initially it looked as if the republicans would scoop up the seat with Mike Castle running in opposition to O’Donnell but with her selection and non-existent political background it now appears likely that democrats will maintain the open seat. I decided to seek more information about this story from Fox News, a news agency that typically has conservative opinions. There take on the story was slightly different; emphasizing that republicans have to accept their new candidate—not reject her, in hopes of having a chance on winning the senate seat and challenging the democrats seat majority. In this day and age of politics it’s seeming more and more plausible for a no body to establish themselves as a political power. This coming election season is proving to us that our interests may not always have to be where the race is but rather who is involved.
