    Hey Nick, holler at me if you’re reading this; I’m a fellow Des Moines-ite looking for other Vayniacs.

    Caucuses were awesome! Too bad my first choice didn’t work out (Biden), at least my second choice did (Obama).

    GV, sorry to hear about the loss. As a new father of 7 months and another bun in the oven, family is where it’s at, and it hasn’t always been that way.

    Bring the family love, bring the love of life and let’s all make good things happen in 2008.
