Local politics is less partisan. My dad's a diehard republican, (Fuck you, dad,) but he'd vote for democrats in his town because he knew them and thought they were good people. I watch politics like other people watch sports, but the more local it gets, the less I care. Its the national conversation which gets me all fired up. But your right about local politics affecting you more, unless the president manages to start world war three.

Easy on your Dad, I'm sure he has his reasons ;-P I like the sports analogy. . . I couldn't care less about local prep football, but can't wait until opening day in the NFL. How do we make people care more about the politicians who will actually have an impact on their schools/roads/etc?

I know what you mean. My brother and my dad are what I refer to as FOX radicalized Republicans, they wear permanent ear plugs. :) I would have no problem voting for one of the more moderate Republicans, if any still exist. But currently trending left to offset the heavy right wing emphasis that has entrenched itself over the past 25 to 30 years.
