She knocked on my door the other day, and was reluctant to give her party affiliation! Is she ashamed??

I am a Democrat.
In 1998, I ran for public office in my town - and won.
While campaigning, I never hesitated to display my party logo on my left lapel under the American flag. On all my signs and literature, the word DEMOCRAT was prominently placed for ALL to see.
I challenge anyone who is running for public office to do the same. If a candidate is reluctant to display which party they are aligned to, then I say DON'T VOTE FOR THEM. That is the voter's first sign of a HIDDEN AGENDA.

Because it shouldn't be about political affliation, it should be about individual candidates it should be about their views and values. As a usual Democrat, I am finding that the people I feel are the most intelligent are starting to be closer to 50/50 on an affiliation. Both parties have good points and bad points. I think it is a bold move by her not wanting to state her political affiliation.

Just goes to show you how much you know about elections. You won't find it on the democrats literature either; look at young Mr. Ford he's practically running as a Republican.
Candidates never put the "R" or "D" by their names in a general election - only in primaries where it matters.
Now the real question is why are the liberal democrats running on conservative agendas right now?

She is ashamed of the head of her party, which is the president.

Republicans are targets today and in some states, if you advertise that you are a republican, you don't get votes.

George Bush, with his less than 30% approval rating, gives a bad connotation to being a Republican.
Thus, many try to hide it.

Maybe she wants to be judged on her performance, rather than the letter after her name.
