I was there, too! (You sat next to me, egregious) It was wonderful meeting a a heroine of mine. She’s geeky and cool and isn’t shy about being an antiwar liberal. And she can talk Unix. If elected, she might be the first geek to serve in Congress.

I really liked the discussion towards the end about what voters respond to. I now know why I always see political fliers where the candidate poses with their dog. I can only hope that that’s just the teaser. Once they see the golden retriever, they’ll want to know Darcy’s position on Iraq, the govt bailout/giveaway, education, the environment (yay polar bears!), and energy.

I agree. Though pouring my derision cost me a couple of long time friends recently. Their Dino signs were more than I could take. Had to break the unspoken “rule” not to talk politics.
I may have been out of line in suggesting that those signs made them appear to be tools of the very system that was sucking our Constitution dry. Though I prefaced that with complimenting them on their Ron Paul signs,i.e. defending the Constitution….
oh,well. Unfortunately, there are lots of folks in our neck of the woods who proudly maintain their ignorance and put up whatever signs the neighbors say they should put up. Republican by birth…not by knowledge of the issues.

yeap – admitting one’s belief system in politics is wrong is a very bitter pill to swallow. hot cocoa and a warm welcome instead of jeering derision is the antidote.

Evening, all…

welcoming such folks with a blanket and hot cocoa.

This is such an important point. Can’t demand retribution…”prodigal son” style acceptance is what is called for here….can’t grab’em by the shoulders and scream, “WHAT WERE YIOU THINKING?”
No matter how much one may wish to.

Marcy left yesterday. We had such a blast. We both have a midwestern sensibility with coastal snark, understand each other pretty well.
