See, I have tried not to rub things in people's faces, but I have no choice. When I was younger, I guess I was a democrat. Always fighting authority, never satisfied with the way things were, yada, yada, yada. But things change as people get older, and yes, make more money and have more secure jobs. You begin to think differently about alot of things, not least of which as to our elected public officials. Let's think about this fact: Clinton was elected in his first term right when the children of the baby boomer generation achieved legal voting age. So suddenly, you had a very large, very young, and very BLIND voting population. Now, fast forward to the Y2K election..... those same people have grown up a little, gone through college or other school, have families, and are more wise to life in general. So, where Clinton won in landslides, Bush made it through a narrow margin as the age ballance swings. I'd place a solid bet on that logic that Bush will get re-elected by a not so narrow margin next year. Just to show how that works, I would have voted for Clinton in '92 if I was old enough (before I knew anything), I voted for Dole in '96, and Bush in '00..... and I will vote for Bush again. As people grow up, they get real, which is what some of you still need to do.
