Bio

Ever since I can remember, I have been a political junkie. One of my first memories is purchasing an anti-Goldwater button that said, "In your Guts, You Know He's Nuts!" I was six at the time. I had a poster from Hubert Humphrey's 1968 campaign on my wall while growing up. From then until now I have closely followed national politics. I am as the old southern saying goes a yellow dog democrat – I would rather vote for a yellow dog before a Republican. My budget hawk stance mixed with my liberal social view puts me in line with the Blue Dog democrats. I guess the two together makes me a green dog democrat. If you know anyone else who made Get-out-the-vote calls for Terry Sanford in 1972, please let me know.
