rally

Since Indiana moved to the "swing state" column last week we've been been getting hit hard with ads and such. No matter what your political views are, it is pretty darn amazing to be standing just 30 feet from a presidential candidate.

My biggest goose-bumpy moment was when 12,000 of us recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

As exciting as this presidential election is, don't forgot to pay attention to the local races. Your governor, mayor, city council members, school board members, assessors and township leaders have an awful big impact on your day-to-day life.

And, if you're ready for big change, watch this (with thanks to Jamie Dawn). I promise a PEZ in every pot and mandatory turn signal laws.
