21. To be completely honest,
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 12:24 PM by whometense
I feel very uncomfortable getting involved in another state's internal politics.

I know that's a big Kos thing, and Lieberman drives me personally insane. I would work my ass off to get him booted out of office if he were from my state.

A lot of you may disagree with me on this, but that's okay. I think at least part of my discomfort comes from having spent a year and a half reading things like, "John Kerry should just resign and let someone new have his place." and "Kerry's so over." Coming from people who are not from MA. I resent this kind of intrusion, and part of me feels that outsiders shouldn't be dashing around trying to mess with in-state politics. (Think also, Howard Dean, Iowa and orange ski caps.)

That said, I'm happy to give money to other states' candidates (through JK), but the other stuff just doesn't feel right to me. Anyone else feel this way?
