Hi, Yes, thank you. While my family is not speaking to me <g>, my friends (even the Republican ones) still are...and this is interesting as Eisenhowers daughter (or grand-daughter--I cannot remember) is now running People-to-People in KC...and that came up not long ago...with the statement that surely THEY were going to vote for Bush... It may also come into play as my son and I go man phones this weekend for the Kerry campaign. (His idea--I'd rather go door-to-door as I dislike telephones so much <g>) My son is pretty funny about all of this. Even while being his age, he has read almost everything regarding Bush/Kerry (on both sides), and is very very concerned for his generation. He has also been asking his teachers who they are voting for and why--and if any of them would like a Kerry sign <g> as we will be picking them up this weekend. (One taker--most of them have privately told Ben that they cannot talk about politics at school but that they will be voting for Kerry--and one of them said that if we can get it to her after school, she would like one...He actually has three people lined up for signs, now...) Missouri will be interesting to watch. Ann Richards (former gov of Texas) was in Clay County this week. (which Gore won by one single vote last time) There is a new group in our area of Women for Kerry and another of People of Faith for Kerry...they brought her in to speak. Both campaigns are focusing alot on Clay County...it will be intriguing as well since it has grown about 7.8% a year since the last election. I don't know where the people came from, though...(if from Kansas, then probably it will vote Bush--if from KCMO, then probably Kerry...) Thanks, so much!
