Well, I don't use Outlook, but this former Clinton (and as you may 
recall from a recent post, registered "Unaffiliated") voter definitely 
supports Bush.

I voted for him in a mental coin-toss in 2000.  I had no strong 
preference between him and Gore, and since I lived and was registered 
to vote in Orange County, I considered it a protest vote.  Like most 
protest votes, it didn't count for @#$%, since Gore still took Orange 
County.  But - also like most conscientious protesters - that didn't 
matter, since at least I *felt* better.

Is that still only one strike?  Or does voting for Clinton (once) take 
me back up to two?
