2. It's a great line, but I know I've heard it before
Not sure if Harkin is the originator, though.

13. It used to be my sig line for a while
I got it from a friend who had heard it somewhere else. I don't think Harkin's the originator of it either but I've always liked it.

6. Great line! And I've always like Harry Truman's classic...
If you want to live like a Republican, you should vote for the Democrats.

8. Hi Larkspur! I'm going to New Hampshire this weekend coming up.
I'll be with Planned Parenthood. We're going to spread the word about McCain/Palin's stance on abortion rights.

Sure hope we change some minds with unaffiliated women voters!
