That's me in the black.


And she said basicaly two things that came into play in her conversion... first she was a bit silent on some things because she was a wife to a republican. Also she said she's always been a populist, and had really turned more liberal with the coming of the neocons.

She is like a goldwater republican, and the party moved so far to the right, that she found herself in the middle, and from there the left was making a lot more sense.
