I'm a Gen-Xer originally from West Texas and lifelong political history buff and news junkie. I have to admit I'm old enough to remember some history now. Been watching political conventions of both parties since I was 11 and the Gipper was on his way to re-election.
Used to be a swing voter, but by the time '08 rolled around I had been swinging Republican for years and finally stamped my voter registration card to vote in Republican primaries--just in time for historic lows in party identification and serious electoral defeats to come. (The 2D political map has me hugging the intersection of centrist, 'right,' and libertarian)
I'm no longer the sort to ordinarily dive into whirlpools of pointless debate. But it's that time again, and sometimes you just get a quadrennial itch to plant a banner in the ground and wax poetic on civics. Rather than inflict my mild seasonal neurosis on unsuspecting victims, I'll make myself a steam valve here where all those burdened share willingness and compassion for a fellow sufferer...regardless of how misguided we perceive each other. ;P
Work, family, and leisure don't permit me a lot of time to while away the hours here, but thanks for letting me hang around.
