I can't fault her for being a Dem. in the 80s. Texas had been a Dem state forever. I can't fault her for giving to Al Gore in 88. I voted for him then myself. Thought he was a good ole conservative southerner. My guess is that the gift to klintoon was a "carryover" from the late 80s mindset. So I'll give her a pass on that (maybe).
Rush said a little while ago that Miers never gave anything to Clinton's campaign. He said someone mistook a $250 donation by someone named "Harris Miers" in '92. BTW, you are right about Gore in '88.
This is true. Back then, Algore passed himself off as a good conservative democrat southern boy, in the tradition of a Zell Miller, let's say.
