The big question is "what would Gore have done?" My guess is that the economy would have been even worse, since Bush gave it a kick start with our tax credits for families (my liberal brother called it a bribe for Bush's vote - heh).
I am in a quandry about who to vote for. Most likely, I will vote for Bush, but I would like to have a new candidate. Last time I felt this way, it was 1992 and our choices were Bush, Clinton, and Perot. I voted for Perot. Heck, he got 20% in Indiana that year.

Vote Nader. Just as long as it isn't Bush. I really liked McCain a lot and thought he could be the next great leader, but look who we got instead.

What is the old line from Oklahoma (it's a musical, for you culture-deprived people)....?
"Oh, the farmer and the cowhand can be friends, la la la..."

I think it's a common misconception that liberals and conservatives can't get along. Mr. Ivey is uber conservative, and I'm uber liberal. We are great friends. Also, if there is anything I said here to make you think that I can't be friends with conservatives, I'm sorry Andy. I seperate politics and friendship. I can see someone's personality and be friends with them, even if I can't see how they can support planks a, b, & c.
