Nothing I've done so far has worked to change her mind.

And nothing will. The less you try, the better off you'll be.

Realization must come from the self; people that have their identities wrapped around their politcal / philiosophical beliefs take a long time to change.

IMHO, of course.

Oh, I agree with you, I generally try to not talk politics with her at all. The only time it comes up is when she makes a comment about the President or something she heard on network news. Just like Rush says I only defend.

The sad thing is she is right along with me on a lot of issues, but votes democratic because that's what she's always done, what her parents always did and all of her relatives have done. She won't accept that certain views are republican, and others that the dems used to stand for, they don't anymore.
