Lots of teachers/retired teachers who appreciate the good life made possible by their union.
One cousin (another teacher, go figure) is a staunch diehard Repug, but I don't see her often.
Was concerned when my daughter started dating her husband, as he is from a good Southern Baptist family and was partly educated in Christian schools. However she got him to see the light and he is now just as "Michael Moore Liberal" as the rest of us!
