My point is, folks are trying to show she is unsuitable because she once gave to Clinton and Gore. I'm showing the historical context of such and how it has no bearing - like the other handful of factoids generating all the hand-wringing today.

I think there are two possibilities:

1. She's undergone a life changing event and is staunchly conservative

2. Her politics changed to conservative only when it was expedient, and now that she has a lifetime appointment we'll see her true political beliefs acted upon

Well, we'll see what comes out. Note that pro-life Dems used to have a home in the party. Note that a lot of conservative Dems were fiscal conservatives. It could be that the Dem Party left her, as it did for many southern conservatives.
