When I first voted, in 1990 (man 18 years ago!) for Bill Clinton I only
voted for him and one democrat for the House of Reps. I voted for all
Republicans even though I registered Democrat. Some thing in 1994. In 2000 I
voted party, I could not believe the way they demonized Clinton. Sure, he
made some shit personal decisions, but I respected his and Hillary's
privacy. I felt that the way the Republicans hounded him since day one was
horrid, he's the president, have some respect, right? I mean, we all give
Bush a hard time, but he's really earned our ire, I've spoken to six graders
with a more advanced grasp of language and grammar, I've seen teenager's
just in shock at his ignorance. At least Clinton was an over-all decent
President, but how can you run a country when you are constantly battling
Congress for control of your personal life. I think, while the Democrats in
Congress have been weak on some issues, they've been mostly gracious and
patient with W., something the Republicans are already vowing not to be with
Obama.

What I found interesting in this election was the memory of 2000, when I
thought John McCain was going to be the Republican Nominee and I didn't know
if I would vote for him or Gore -- I want to know what happened to the
McCain of 8 years ago.

Geoff:
Your last comment raises the point of what to do with a politician whom 
you think is good but don't want to support his party.
