Hi Everyone,
I am Ayres Mitchell. I am a senior History Major/English Minor. I am from Santa Barbara California. I can honestly tell you that the reason I found this class is because it is the only 2 credit class that is being offered that I am able to take. But I am excited to learn and have a very open mine.
I have had ties to Politics since I was in Junior High. But my most recent experience was taking the Road to the White House class at the Cable Center taught by Steve Scully a big wig of CSPAN. It was very interesting because we were able to talk to people like Dorris Kerns Goodwin. In California there are not that many political campaign adds because we all know which way California goes (blue). So this will be my first election where I get to hear campaign adds...needless to say not so much a fan of the adds every 5 minutes! But I will say that it is nice to see both sides and not just one.
I do not know a whole lot about Gender Politics. I am very interested to learn and know I will get a lot out of this class. As a student who is very interested in history, I know that there is no doubt that history will be made during this election, whether it go Republican or Democrat. I look forward to learning more and more about Gender and Politics and be able to make informed decisions during this time of new frontiers.

Welcome to our course, Ayres. It sounds like you've already done some interesting work on electoral politics. I'll be interested to hear more from you as the quarter progresses. I'll also be curious to hear more about what you think about Colorado politics. It's always good to have a fresh perspective!
