Those were the days when the Repub party wasn't insane like it is today. Religious extremism really ruined that party.

It came up in the news in 1991 that Governor Bill Clinton's wife just switched parties so she could vote for him in the primary when he ran for President. I remember. Maybe that news byte is out there somewhere on YouTube.

People always have a tendency to follow the party they were raised in. How she became a democrat is very interesting a school project opened her eyes.
