niece who says she supports Edwards becauase he's cute.  I guess every Dem vote is nice, whatever the reason.

We all have some strange people like that in the family. I had an uncle who used to think he was Mr. Macho, runs the family.  He thought he ran things.  His wife let him pretend he was the big, bad macho guy. In the end, he really had no power, but everyone just gets tired of explaining reality to him.

at the hospital he worked at. After he retired and I had moved back home, I needed a PCP. I chose a woman, on staff at that hospital, who held a high position (not chief of staff, but close). My dad felt he had to get on the phone to a colleague still at the hospital to check her out. He just didn't quite trust a woman as a doctor.
Don't get me wrong. He was a sweetheart, but still very old school.
