Slow down there, Charles. I have voted for Republicans a few times. If you asked me what current politician I admire the most it would be Olympia Snowe, a senator from Maine. (I also admire her husband John McKernan, the former governor of Maine). Most of her opposition comes from her own party, ideologues who think you should check your beliefs at the door and vote the party line. She is too much of an independent Mainer to do that. Good for her.
