jerry you and I are so alike!!! I do exactly the same thing!! I vote for local elections frequently for the best man, and here in the douth lots of time that means the best man is a Democrat. I fund raise for several of them I have made lots of political contributions at the state level for Democrats, It is at the national level that I seem to tend more toward party lines, albiet Republicans. Maybe we are just cancelling each other out?   grin   jimmyt
