Entry for February 18, 2008

There are still numerous preidential primaries to go. Here is a listing taken from http://www.votesmart.org/election_president_state_primary_dates.php for your info. Looks like by the time my state of KY has theirs on 5/20 the decision will probably be made! The next presidential primary for Kentucky (2012) will be in February under new legislation SB 3 that was passed by the Kentucky Senate on January 30, 2007 by a vote of 21-14. Other primaries (in KY) will continue to be held in May. Remember... VOTE!
