Will, that's a very astute observation. As a member of Tractorbynet and (I assume) a university faculty, you must oscillate between two extremely different political environments.

Glenn,
Extremely different about sums it up. There are some republican math professors though. One retired a couple years ago, and the other left in the early 90's. We've got a couple of professors at UGA who can argue with themselves, but otherwise you don't hear two sides of many political issues.

Will, I was on the law faculty at FSU in 1988-89. There was still a small group of "conservatives" there. I put that in quotes because they probably would have considered themselves liberals in the '50's and '60's. The vitriol between them and the neo-liberals was palpable, and affected decisions and votes far removed from politics. It was very unpleasant and one of the reasons I decided to leave academia.

Cheney-Lieberman debate is tonight.

I like Cheney better than Bush and Lieberman better than Gore. Of the 4, I like Cheney best. McCain was my real guy, though.

Glenn,

That's what I am: an old time liberal--done went and gone conservative in my old age! Frankly, these days I am trying to locate a good used electron microscope, so I can tell the real difference between the candidates. For most of my geezer friends, it seems the more they rely on gov't handouts, the more "liberal" they vote.

I thought Cheney-Lieberman was a very mature and elegant debate. The historian Doris Kearns Goodwin said it best on one of the talk shows: you got the feeling that if one of these guys were president and the other were the leader of congress, a lot of things could be gotten done in this country in a positive bipartisan manner.

Richh, amusing and true, hence somewhat sad. Did you create that yourself?

I gotta agree with you glenmac. I think the parties got he order mixed up The VP's are both better candidates for the # 1 position than the ones running. I was very impressed with Cheney. Seems like a very bright and intelligent man. I could see him in the oval office easily.

I'm with you, Gerard. I'm more impressed with the VP candidates, especially Cheney.
