This is a little thing, but I think a positive sign . . .

Was watching the health care hearings today as much as I could . . .

and one of the R's started to substitute the noun "Democrat" for "Democratic Party"

and he hesitated and didn't do it!

And this past week there was a very strong letter to our town paper about the spiteful

and childishness of GOP doing this and that the newspaper had done same thing recently!

He was calling for everyone to speak out on this -- to their newspapers, etal and GOP.

I think it's a positive sign that with "paper ballots/pen" in absentee voting -- and

getting out the vote as ACORN has done -- they know the returning strength of Democrats --

all of us together!!!

But I'll believe it when I more-generally see it.
