Yeah, but did you see how Monochromatic the audience is? It seemed there
were more ethnicities on stage than in the audience. Not to mention how
upset the old fogeys in the audience looked when things like Affirmative
Action were brought up (by Colin Powell).

I am a Democrat, but only because I didnt really like any of the
independent parties, and also I wanted to vote in the primaries :).
Anyway, all of my family is Democrat. My mom was republican, but she
changed. My grandparents were republican, but vote for the Democrats
because as my grandmother says "the republicans have lost their heart" (i
will not get into a politics debate to justify what grandma says :)).
