What a day to be a Rhode Islander. Today is the day that we, as the nations smallest state, get the chance to throw our two cents into the pot, and make a meaningful and in no way insignificant impact on the future of our great country. It's days like these that make me want to write an inspiring country music song to be played over a montage of great American moments, or maybe even, if I'm lucky, a Ford commercial. All of this is of course made possible by our nations dedication to equality and fairness.
I mean look at us. Lucky number 13 boasts barely 1500 square miles (which by my calculation is nearly double in equilateral triangle mileage) coming in as the smallest state by area in the country, and still we account for 21 delegates. Compare that to our countries largest state, Alaska, and our electoral importance matches, nay, exceeds our baby seal clubbing neighbors to the north. We even nabbed half the political popularity of the great state of Puerto Rico, who comes in at 44 delegates. Not bad for 43rd most populated state.
Turn on the news, and you won't see analysts over-looking The Ocean State in favor of larger, more populated states with more delegates to give to the cause, and therefore more influence over our country. You won't see our candidates focused solely on two major states with the understanding that they alone can make or break their campaign, forcing them to spend more money, time, and care (in that order of importance) trying to win their votes. No my friend, you will see them on the streets of Rhode Island, fighting for our 21 delegates with just as much passion and focus as they would for Texas' 21, or Ohio's 21...
Man we got this electoral system down to a "science". No wonder so many other countries are begging us to come over and show them how it's done.

I propose that this blog be entirely dedicated to discussion of the "Fighting at a caucus" site. It's very controversial. I know this because it told me so. It can be found at the highly controversial address of http://nateknowlton.blogspot.com/
If you missed any of the first four extremely controversial posts, let me get you caught up:
1. The have been a lot of trades in the NBA this year.
2. Sam Cassell nows plays for the Celtics
3. People don;t like congress because they're too mean to old baseball players
4. Two women got in a fight at a Chucky Cheese.
It's all gold, baby.
