Where on the political spectrum do you lie? (Mods: Please don't move!)

democrat? haha, yeah i know it was lame, don't matter what you are too me, if your an alright dude, then your alright in my book

LOL!! I spend a heck of a lot of my spare time with politics. I've volunteered on many campaigns since 1992 and managed a campaign for a guy who won a State Rep. seat (State Representative Mike Alberts ) in Connecticut in 2004 by 48 votes out of over 10,000 cast!!! It was the closest race in Connecticut last year and my biggest success so far. It's one thing to work on a campaign where the guy ya work for is either unopposed or has a weak opponent but it's great to win these highly contested races where we were outspent 2 1/2 to 1 The bottom line was he out hustled his opponent and ran a great race especially since Connecticut is a heavily Democratic state. Out of 151 State Reps, we only have 52 seats, two away from a veto proof majority. The State Senate is 24 - 12 Democratic so if the Democrats had veto proof majoroties in BOTH chambers, the Republican Governor would be rendered useless. So this win that I played a major part in was key considering there is one Republican State Rep. who votes with the Democrats almost all the time.

Sorry, I tend to avoid talking "politics" on cigar boards (other than CigarWeekly where they have a specific forum for it where you need persmission to access it) since most people don't want to hear about it.
