One last thing...

I made the paper! I was interviewed by a Star Trib reporter yesterday while standing in line. I just remembered to check and there is a quote from me. Too bad though that the quote in inaccurate and not exactly what I meant. Here is a link to the article. You can find me on the third page. Here is what I was quoted:

The idea of seeing Obama in person also inspired Tina Carstens, 32, of Brooklyn Park, who said she recognized the bitterness the campaign between Obama and Clinton had created among some women.

"But there's none of that in any of my circle of friends," she said.

I had stated to the reporter that I was an Obama supporter and have been from day one. He said he found it interesting that women of my age didn't align more with Clinton. I offered to him that I don't feel that just because I am a woman I should align with a woman for president as much as I think she deserves it as much as any man. What I look for is the person and what they can do for our country. And then I mentioned that most of my friends in my circle feel the same way. I guess he got it somewhat close! :)
