Really, I don’t remember being pumped about political candidates before Obama. Of course, I went to the polls and voted for Gore, Kerry, etc., but wasn’t very passionate about doing so. Ms. Heidi is my local Obama. I’m so, so proud to call her my mayor! Heidi for president, but first, mayor of our beautiful town!
