My father is a PHD economist graduated from Columbia. He knew Paul
O'Niell in the past. He's voted for Republicans almost every time
since the 50's. He switched his vote to Kerry this year mainly because
of finacial policies. That was an eye opener.
I've leaned a little left most of my life. My candidate did not win.
That said. The sky is not falling. We are not a fascist state. LKet's
keep our heads cool please folks. The media has overblown the morality
vote just they they overblow everything for a good story. Life will go
on.
