I don't think I have ever met a Carpetbagger. I thought they died off after the Civil War?

This is a very strange election year, and very entertaining. I'm not happy with Bush but he has my vote and support. I agree with Pat Buchanan, "While Bush and Kerry are both wrong on Iraq, Sharon, NAFTA, the WTO, open borders, affirmative action, amnesty, free trade, foreign aid, and Big Government, Bush is right on taxes, judges, sovereignty, and values. Kerry is right on nothing."

This is the first year I have volunteered for a political campaign. I made phone calls and will be a poll worker for a county commissioner running an at-large position. This may be the most important race this year for local voters in Mecklenburg County, NC. With the districts evenly split, the at-large races will determine if Mecklenburg County continues down the path of ever-expanding bureaucracy and higher taxes, or takes a turn towards sanity by electing a new majority. If the republicans fail to win a majority, the exodus to surrounding counties continues...and so do my higher taxes.

Our favorite Carpetbagger is on his way home, but he'll be back for the election. One way or another, at least one person in this house will be celebrating on November 3rd....

An interesting note about Don's experience working at party headquarters here. He says he's hard put to find an actual Floridian there. The workers are all from New York, or Massachusetts, or someplace else. Porter calls them Carpetbaggers....

Oh sugar! I believe most of what I learned as a homeschooler was through dinner time conversation, espeically when we had guests (maybe that's why I can't spell). I wish I could be there for those discussions! It doesn't help that you've hit me in a "school-is-dumb" moment. Why did a volunteer for an extra year of the tyranny?!
