Jeanene, I get the feeling young folks that age are well inundated with the
concept of being liberal. It's all about who has power and who's going to
take it from them. Somehow at least to them being liberal seems to be a way
of "sticking it to the man" or rebelling against the Powers that be. I'm in
my upper 20's. I've never thought that way, but I watch it all around me.
(and I'm certain my parents will tell you I've had my rebellious moments as
well)

I am conservative, but I don't vote party lines. I could see Obama having a
very good chance. What I'm VERY Afraid of is Clinton. Comments have already
been made that she'd appoint her husband to the Supreme Court if a position
opened during her presidency. We already know she's not trustworthy because
she lied to us during her husband's reign. It disturbs me to no end how
exited people are to support her.
I fully support a woman making the Presidency. I am quite excited to see
both a lady and African American fighting for the Presidency, but not
Clinton, she scares the H*** out of me.

My two cents worth,
Lance
