26. Not optimistic

Mar 2013

A co-worker who is a less liberal Democrat than I am (pretty sure voted for President Obama though) mentioned her running the other day and he didn't seem to like it much, since she is an actress, didn't take her seriously at all and was hoping the Democratic Party would find someone else. I say that because he's an example of someone who is quite thoughtful here in Kentucky. Not nuts and generally in favor of more progressive ideas than most Kentuckians. But I think he'd not vote before voting for an actress.

Then you have the hate-mongers with their guns.............
