Good, we've got a fiery liberal on board. The politics of this forum was shifting to the right, so I'm glad we have the other extreme to balance it all out now. Do you feel the political Zen?

I don't know. At least on the Illinois forums, it seems to me that we have a predominance of moderate lefties with a handful of moderate righties. Very few hard left or hard right-winger types.

I consider myself a moderate lefty (on some issues though I can be a super lefty) but for the most part I'm pretty moderate.

However, when it comes to local politics, I've found that party alliance means little.
