Citizen Kate gets tips on winning the presidential race from the first four time Indy 500 winner AJ Foyt, and his team's Indy 500 driver, Darren Manning.

AJ Foyt shared his thoughts with me on what it takes to be a great leader. I even got to spend time with the crew in the pit during practice. My prediction: Darren Manning will win the Indy 500…if the race is judged on looks. The whole AJ Foyt Racing Team is super cute, and I got to hug them all. I should spend more time at the Indy Speedway. Seriously.

Good luck, Darren! I'm rooting for you.

Note to self: Political campaigns are like race car driving. It takes more than one lap around the track to really get going and win.

Citizen Kate spends the day with the Amish and Mennonites in Indiana to discover how they feel about the Voter ID Law, which could take away their right to vote.

I spent a wonderful day with my new friends at the Miller Buggy Line Tours and Menno-Hof Center in Shipshewana. The Amish and Mennonites are simple, lovely, and very green people.

Al Gore should hang out with them to realize the real inconvenient truth is that this community of super green people people may loose their right to vote.

I learned firsthand what this community thinks about voting, the candidates and great leaders. So I spoke with one Amish man, and one liberal Mennonite, Joe Yoder, who's name is all over the town. Yoder's are very popular there. They must love Star Wars!

Note to self: Sometimes people choose not to vote. But they should always have the choice.

Citizen Kate catches up with Old Hollywood Celebrities at a Hillary Clinton event in Indianapolis, Indiana.

So I made it to my first big Hillary event in Indiana. It was a rock concert with John Mellencamp. Actually, he only played one song. I discovered firsthand what local reporters go through at political events. I didn't get to interview Hillary. But I did see stars like Sean Astin, Rob Reiner and Miss Indiana. I even chatted with Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson. I was super close to Bill Clinton! But not close enough to touch him. When I tried to reach the Clintons after Hillary's big speech, the volunteers stopped me. Apparently, reporters with cameras aren't allowed to get too close. Just another day of being a citizen journalist.

Citizen Kate finally feels like a Hollywood Starlet at the Democratic Debates. I can't believe I scored one of the hottest tickets in LA, the CNN/Politico.com/Los Angeles Times Democratic Debate at the Kodak Theatre. I know, that's where the Oscars are. It's almost as if I finally made it. I couldn't wait to meet Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then, I discovered that there's more to life than politics. There's fame. Hollywood was fantastic. Even if the people looked dirty. Seriously, Elvis said he hadn't changed his outfit in 20 years. I spread peace and hugs to Sponge Bob Square Pants and Spiderman, but I don't think that either of them showered in days. Sponge Bob left a stain on my right boob with his dirty nose. You can see it in my latest vblog. Check out it out!

May 3, 2008 — Citizen Kate weighs in on Obama's victory with the Guamians.

It's official. Obama won the Guam vote. Although it was 50/50. But he beat Hillary by 7 votes. Did you know their motto is "Where America's Day Begins"? I wish that were true. I'd have a suntan and mai tai. Instead, I'm in the wandering land of Indianapolis. It seems that every state and island are important this election. I think that's a sign that every citizen is important. No matter how big or small. I wonder who will win the Heartland? Barack Obama? Or Hillary Clinton? McCain's already made a clean sweep. Maybe it's easier to vote Republican…
