Democratics vs. Republicans

I have this neighbor who is really nice. She has a couple of little dogs and Mckenzie loves to go over and visit them. The other day, she told me a funny story. She was at work and they were talking about politics (Super Tuesday had just finished). They got onto the conversation of how none of them even know any republicans. Then my neighbor shouted out "OHHH! I know one!" They all looked at her in surprise and asked if she got a long with this republican (me). She said, "YES! And she's really sweet and she has two adorable little girls..." They were all in shock that not only did she KNOW a republican, but that she actually liked one. We are sure not the majority out here. I am understanding more and more why Massachusetts is considered the bluest of the blue states.
