Catching up on your blog, I came across ...Scott,<br /> Catching up on your blog, I came across your post on Nixon, in opera and fiction. I must say that, to me, Nixon will always be Darth Vader, with the US as a sort of huge version of Luke Skywalker. I voted for Nixon twice, the first two times I could vote, in fact, but, really, my ballots were cast against his opponents. And then came Watergate. I never voted Republican in a Presidential contest again, nor do I normally cast a ballot for a Republican candidate on any level. And, as the Republicans have embraced Ronald Reagan--or at least their nostalgia-soaked version of him--it's become even easier for me to vote for Democrats, even if, as has been the case in recent years, they have no chance and I could just as well flush my ballots down the commode. Oh, well. . . .Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291206772562296149noreply@blogger.com
