Lots of Dems are not wacked out commies, just wrong on some key issues. My husband is one: he almost always votes Dem, and personally dislikes Pres. Bush, but absolutely can't stand Dean and really fears for our country if he should win. So, he's been grousing lately that he's going to have to vote Republic. If marriage has taught me anything, it's to keep my mouth shut at key moments. When you win the battle, just smile quietly and enjoy the victory.
