Slowly I've worked my husband away from being a life-long, Kansas-born, evangelical conservative yahoo
into a Democrat. I've worked on my sister as well. She's kind of a 3rd way type, but only because
MSM is all she's ever watched. I've turned her on to Olbermann/Maddow/etc., and she's about
to check out DU.

One person at a time. It's the least I can do before the old body gives out.

Next on my list is an apolitical brother, but to be honest, I'm glad he missed 2011. What a lousy
year all around...
