: About Me

I am a Graduate Student at George Washington University, starting in the fall. My degree will be in Political Management, and I want to be a political pollster. My Undergraduate degree is from Rochester Institute of Technology and my major was Applied Statistics. I am a Baptist, and I believe that Jesus Christ is the single most important man in the history of the world, and more so the most important man in my life.

I am a conservative, and Republican and a member of the Religious Right. I like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, and I was a College Republican. I think Ronald Reagan was the best president since Abraham Lincoln.

I am a huge sports fan, and I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, so I love the Browns, Indians and Cavs. I am huge into fantasy sports and played MLB Showdown throughout all of High School.

I recently have gotten into Photography, using my EOS 7E film SLR camera. I have a website, www.NicShayko.com that I maintain.

I am single, and I am seeking a wife, which must be a Christian of similar yoke.

Typically, the New Hampshire Primary is the single most important voting that takes place during the primary season. Still, the Iowa Caucus is a very unique and very important event in United States presidential politics. The Caucus is not a primary, that is people don't vote like they do in a primary.
