Most people still never knew how many choices they had to vote on, nor what went into the wiener. I find out.

Citizen Kate goes to cast her first vote and finds the ballot has too many choices.

This is it. I never thought this day would never come. Let's face it. Two years is a long time to wait! And then you have to make a decision. Then you realize there's more to decide on than you anticipated.

Forget about the Presidential choices -- Barack Obama, John McCain, Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, and John Polacheck? Who were all those other people on the ballot? How did I miss that after two years on the campaign trail?

Note to self: There is more to vote for than the President of the United States.

America loves choices, and so do I, I think.

Citizen Kate attends a rally in Detroit and learns why it's such a battleground...or is it?

I made it to Motown and the big Barack Obama/Joe Biden event right in from of the Detroit Public Library. If the location is any indication, this campaign has been super smart. Even when it comes to battleground states, they fight with wise words that make the crowd feel really good. 

Detroit is considered Hockeytown, so I was surprised Sarah Palin didn't show up. Till I heard Barack speak and realized that Hockeytown is actually Obamatown. If all the undecided voters could hear Obama speak in person, they may make up their minds quickly. But it would really help to shake his hand and say "hi". 

Note to self: Politicians seem to battle over the people, but it's the ones who show up that win. McCain conceded Michigan pretty quickly.

Citizen Kate reviews her presidential candidate choices in a Hooter's parking lot before the big Barack Obama rally in Detroit.

I went to Michigan because I heard it was a huge battleground. I wanted to be on the front lines. I figured that it would help me make my final decision on who to vote for. 

This is going to be big event with Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. I know. She's a doctor. Smart ladies marry politicians. I have to say in weighing out all of my options: Barack Obama, John McCain, Bob Barr, Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney, I still haven't made up my mind.

My Uncle Rob offered to help me at the event. I think he wants to see Barack in person. Obama really knows what to say in this time of crisis. Just hearing him makes you feel better. 

Note to self: You should take the time to make the best choice for you and your country.

Citizen Kate catches up with David Axelrod, Barack Obama's chief strategist, and finds out the key to Obama's success...butter.

After the big Barack Obama speech in Detroit, Michigan, I ran into David Axelrod. I was super excited cause I had just seen him that morning on Meet the Press. I know. I can't believe I watch that show either. I must be learning something on the trail.

Mr. Axelrod remembered the butterhead of Barack that I commissioned Duffy Lyon to make in Iowa. He also shared with me the key to Barack's success in the Michigan Battleground, as well as how Barack will help our economy.

Note to self: We need a butter America. And Barack will make this a butter place for us all.

The Con Con is Good Good.

Kate is swept away by the Green Party's...flowers and worship of women.

Citizen Kate sits down with Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney and finds being queen of the Green doesn't mean being queen of the bling.

I had so much fun at the Green Party National Convention. I got the chance to sit down with each of the Green Party Presidential nominees -- Dr. Kent Mesplay, Jesse Johnson, Kat and Cynthia McKinney.

McKinney won the nomination. Not only is she a Black woman running for president, but she picked Rosa Clemente, a Puerto Rican woman from NYC.

The Green Party offers America the first female female presidential ticket. And it's the only International Party with representatives in countries all over the world. In fact, Germany had a Green President.

I really enjoyed talking with McKinney in English and French. She has a great sense of humor and fashion.

Note to self: Women can be great leaders wearing pants or skirts.

Citizen Kate discovers a world party and realizes that "being green" is about more than the bling.

I attended The Green Party National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. I was super excited to show off my new green outfit. It's so much easier to dress when there's a theme.

I quickly realized that the Green Party really doesn't care about appearances. They are focused on the truth and social justice and the environment. My dress did dazzle, but what was most impressive were the people that I met there. They were so welcoming to me. I felt loved and love for the world.

They even picked a woman for president, Cynthia McKinney, who then picked another woman for Vice President, Rosa Clemente. If only, I'd gone green sooner, maybe I could have been on the ticket.

Note to self: Not everyone in politics has money, but the Green Party sure does have a lot of love.
