Well, I was a Republican when I lived in Maryland before the current administration. I didn't mention it on my application, though, as frankly - as much as I like this area, I'm so f*cking sick of talking politics. And I sure as hell don't wanna do it on a first/blind date.
On my application, I put down "Whig" for political party. I think they fixed us up because she was a last-minute replacement, frankly. She had been contacted for a prior Datelab, but by mistake, and I think the Post set us up because I seemed nice and friendly. Datelab is NOT a dating service - it's an experiment.
