i've always favored blue over red...

i'm not one to discuss politics. my silence is not due to the fact that i am uninformed, or don't have an opinion; i simply believe that every one has the right to their own opinion. clearly not every one shares in that belief. left wing this, right wing that. crazy liberals, tight wad conservatives. political discussions often become heated and uncomfortable for all parties involved whether you are actively engaging or merely acting as a spectator in the conversation.

so i'll keep it simple and say i'm pleased overall on a national level.
