I vote for a lot of republicans locally, but for a national race, not recently. As it turns out I didn't vote in the 2000 elections because I was out of the country, but I would have voted for Bush, I had no real preference between Bush and Gore but liked Bush a little better then. California was so strongly Gore I didn't bother with an absentee ballot though. In retrospect given where we are wrt the deficit I wish Gore would have won. I liked Bush prior to this iraq situation though. I also don't like Bush's choice of treasury secretaries, old cronies from the 70s both of them. Clintons choices were just plain brighter people and they were pro-growth except for Reich. If Clinton staffed his economic team with a bunch of people like Reich, I would have voted for Dole in the second term. At a state level, what can I say. You know the issues there. 2 COMPLETE LOSERS for republican governor candidate, it should have been easy to win against Davis the first time and impossible NOT to win against Davis the second time, if not for the very simple and often clearly elucidated rules of: pro-choice, moderate (not pro-) gun, and environmental issues. The republicans had Huffington up against Feinstein, remember that? Bad move. Then in 98 the republicans had to pay the price for the impeachment... well gee the live and let live states aren't going to like that too much it doesn't take einstein to figure that out. SO back to my voting record, I guess you would say I've gone to the "other side", but not by choice. And when the republicans lose the real enterpreneurial capitalists like me, who do they have? Answer nobody at least in California, whose fault is that.
