I keep up with it all defacto. I love her. I liked her the moment she renamed Piestwa Peak (it was the right thing to do). This is where the DEM leadership should come from and she is a leader. The DNC needs to cultivate these leaders (via grass roots) and ditch the ones that are not worthy to be associated with the party. I have no problem with conservative DEMs as long as they adhere to basic tenants (remember to dance with them that brought you, never balance the budget on the backs of the poor, middle class, or small businesses, allow people to make their own moral choices...etc).
Mom voted for Bush and although she won't admit it, I think she may be rethinking and she is very defensive when we discuss pol1tics. Oh well, at least she has a good govenor.
