I’ve been a registered Democrat since 1971 or 18 year olds father got the right to vote. I have voted in every single election that I’ve been qualified for all over the United States. I have actually never voted for a third-party candidate nor a republican ever. Methinks people need to get their heads out of their asses.

I’m still in the hospital and voice to text is a bit kludgy.

GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL! In interest of full disclosure - in 2004 I changed my registration to Republican to vote for Arlen Specter in the primary because I thought Pat Toomey was such a threat. Then I changed my registration back as soon as the window re-opened. I've never voted for a Republican in a general. GET ALL WELL SOONEST -- smooches, Tim.

Remember what your Grandma Lenke said after I told her Joel had been elected to the Assembly in New Jersey. At first she was bursting with pride over the success of her grandson in being the first Jewish Democrat elected to that office in that part of New Jersey. Then I told her that Joel was a Republican she replied: "That's worse than a mixed marriage."

Not only that, but she told him to give her campaign contribution back.

Been there, done that at all levels of the Democratic Party for more than 75 years. May not have always succeeded in convincing others of my viewpoint at different times, but meeting and conversing with people of similar aspirations, learning much from many, and viewing progress during a lifetime has been very rewarding.

Unc -- You are my political idol -- thank you for all the training you gave me, and all the knowledge you imparted to me ever since I can remember. I would not be able to do what I do now if you weren't my uncle. I learned from you -- and learned from what Steve and Mark did with your tutelage -- and not that this relates to either you or me -- I made sure to NEVER do ANYTHING that Joel did politically <grin>.
