Again true a decade ago, but at least in our local party the sane people are being driven out. We have folks running for city council who are obsessed with stopping abortion and promoting what they claim to be Christian values. One of the big deals is promotion of school vouchers, which are likely of real benefit in some urban areas but which here are primarily used to fund de-facto school segregation. So many of the small-government pro-business Republicans are no longer active in the local party. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
