Candidates' delegates were unknown by many
On Tuesday's ballot the voter had to match the candidate with the delegates pledged to that candidate. Your ballot was rejected if you did not vote for the delegates pledged to your candidate or if you voted for too many delegates. But, you had the opportunity to vote again if the machine rejected it. I did not know or had not heard of more than eight delegates on either the Democratic or Republican ballots. When I asked a friend how she knew who to vote for she said she didn't really know either. She said she just voted for two after discussing the delegates with her husband. Some people told me they didn't vote for any of the delegates, just the candidate. Normally, my spouse and I discuss the candidates and the delegates prior to voting. But, since my spouse said I was canceling his vote, we did not talk about candidates or delegates this time. The next almost nine months should be very interesting as the United States is said to be in one of the most dramatic and unpredictable presidential races of our lifetime. I, along with a lot of other people, are already sick of hearing all the politicians' advertisements on television. Some have been advertising for almost a year. Thank goodness we will have fewer politicians advertising since the races in both parties have less candidates vying for our votes. I am looking forward to the national conventions when both parties' candidates will be nominated. I just wish I knew who will be the final two on the ballot. Favorite recipe
The winter months call for soup to be served often, and the recipe below is very delicious and takes little time to prepare. Add onion and water to large heavy saucepan. Cook until onion is tender. Pour off water. Add chicken, corn, milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for about 30 minutes. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted. I also add one cup of finely chopped celery. I cook the celery with the onion.
Yields: 6 servings
