Was My Idol way back when I was a kid. I cried and cried when he was shot. Then along came others that I admired greatly, but Paul Wellstone was my "ball of fire" for such a long time. I recall decorating my Christmas Tree shortly after he was first elected and followed him from then on.

Unfortunately, he died on my birthday 2 years ago! I was SHOCKED and will never have a birthday again without thinking of him. John Conyers really has shown me a lot lately and regardless of what may have been said or be said about Jesse Jackson, I still admire him greatly. Jimmy Carter has been a WONDERFUL President and even though people say he's more DLC, I don't THINK so. I enjoyed his speech at last year's Convention and he really fired up the hall with my kind of Democratic feelings. We've had so so many wonderful Dems, and I can't finish without saying something about Mario Cuomo! I still remember his speech at at Mondale's Convention... it was GREAT!

Better stop now, but if all of stopped to think about it, we have many many Great Democrats to be thankful for. Joe Biden coule carry some water right now, I like him a lot too!
