If I had to choose I would be democrat, I lean that way a little and will vote that way. Well, that and George Bush's economy plan caused me to lose my job yesterday. Not that I'm blaming him in particular or anything, finances are complex, but he is the head of our govt. I took that quiz and came out a centrist leaning toward liberal so yeah....thats me. I really don't think either side is wrong as long as they keep an open mind, and I think democrats are better at that. So thats why Im a democrat.

[edit] Just saying, I went to a debate last night between two state senators, two state reps, and one national rep. The problem with the debate was that they all agreed on many issues, and the only controversy was over how seriously issues should be handled. I was kind of dissapointed in it, because the main thing that people then looked for was how charasmatic and how good of a speaker the person was, which is not necessarily important. All I'm saying here is that it's healthier to have a broad range of party affiliation within the local government in order to get ideas from both sides to solve the problems. I think that this is a major problem in america. Controversy provokes thought.

20 out of all the members of the House run in a close race (I learned this at the debate last night).
