Dawgreg, I hate to disagree, but Im not sure a primary voting democrat would vote any other way than democrat in general elections, unless of course she were a far right republican who voted for the easiest candidate for the republican to beat.
Here is an article I found from USA Today that quotes E.D. Hill as being a "Primary-voting Democrat." Julian is horrible, I can't believe he is still there. Brian seems to be the only one during the week (on F&F anyway) that attempts to provide balance to E.D. and the leftist guest they have. And if the theory is that Fox News is attempting to appeal to more liberal viewers so that they get more viewers and higher ratings, they are also would be losing conservative viewers that got them the ratings they already have. Not because they are being "fair and balanced" but personally, I, and other conservatives should see right through this theory as all they care about is ratings and not the "fair and balanced" philosophy that got them where they are. I agree, however, that its getting rediculous over there at Fox...seems to be the only place to get news is Drudge, Rush, and Hannity.
She just fled the country for Africa for a nice getaway vacation. No reason to suspect anything other than such. And she didn't know how long the vacation would last, so just quit her job at AP. Her dad must be a Republican since he is calling Kerry a sleazeball. No connection between his daughter and the sleazeball.
