My daughter - think you'll like this.

My 25 year old daughter, who got me involved in the 2012 Obama campaign, came home to our little informal New Years gathering a while ago with much of her black hair died blue. Her comment - "Let's turn the whole country blue in 2014."

Wow. GOTV in 2014!

I actually think the blue hair is pretty cool, or maybe that is the wine! Anyway, her heart is really in the right place - a free spirit, artist, retro-hippie, feminist. She was so thrilled to cast her first ever Presidential election vote for Barack Obama. She really lives her politics!

Maybe I'll adapt my midterm campaign sign to read - TURN CONGRESS BLUE - 4 ME AND YOU

Not entirely grammatical, but people around here won't notice. Anything for a good rhyme.
