Flashback: Thanksgiving 2000

My daughter in-law & son visited us, and of course the "background-music" of that time was the incessant Gore V Bush razzamatazz, 24-7. She was a Bush voter (our son was a Gore voter...as were my husband and myself.

It was a stressful Thanksgiving, what with the snarky comments and dirty looks (from her, because she was being "picked on"..)

She is now a proud and newly registered DEMOCRAT.. She admitted to our son that she did vote for Obama in 08 after having voted TWICE for that cretin, Bush.

She is born & raised in Salt Lake City, a Mormon...and a "mitt-hater".

She calls him the "Freaky-Phony".

Her family still there are new Dem recruits too ( although their votes will be hopelessly drowned out)
