I think it's about more than the economy but generally agree with the rest of what you say. That's why I think people on the losing side shouldn't get so worked up about it. > I voted for some Repubs and some Dems...I tried to vote for the person and > not the party, I don't think this generalization stuff does anybody any good > - like Joni says, it just creates a borderline. I agree and have always voted in the same manner. (But will confess that for the first time in my life I voted a straight Repub. ticket yesterday ;-) Kakki
