when it comes to politics. Gore shouldn't have run from Clinton, Lieberman was a bad choice but I don't regret voting for him one bit.

Republicans gave a shit about Monica (or pretended to) and that fueled their base. I'll admit I was pretty pissed at him for it, not because of the infidelity but because he gave them a "scandal"....they couldn't wait to nail the guy...look at the bullshit WW investigation.

Shit really started going downhill here in 2002 after 9/11 with our Dem Gov being ousted, the disgusting shaming of Max Cleland...etc.

I was so happy when our former SOS Karen Handel was forced to resign from Komen...couldn't stand her.

My husband and I always vote and in our subdivision of almost 200 houses we have 3 liberal friends...I'm sure there are more as obviously we don't know everyone who lives in it.

Jason Carter announced he is running for Governor so that gives me some hope.

As far as I'm concerned, Clinton isn't all that electable. HappyMe Nov 2013 #12

For better or for worse, running is encoded into the Clinton DNA. I would be shocked if she didn't. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #13

I don't know. To me, the ability to fling an insult, HappyMe Nov 2013 #14
