Looky what I found: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_po...evie_Nicks.php

Stevie never talks about politics, so this is very interesting to me. I would have guessed before now that she was a Democrat, but I didn't know for sure.

She gave $1,000 to Gary Hart's 1984 presidential campaign, the same amount she contributed to Al Gore for 2000.

Most recently, she gave $2,000 to Washington state senator Maria Cantwell to use for re-election when her term ends this year. It is a bit puzzling to me. She contributes to someone in Washington, but not someone in Arizona?

"Where's the beef?"

I find it hilarious how that line essentially killed his campaign in '84. And then he was stupid enough to run against the neocons again in '88 while he was having an affair. How patently stupid.

Probably a friend of a friend or some such ****. She voted for CAFTA and Iraq, I believe, but she also voted against Roberts, she's completely pro-choice, and she singlehandedly killed Ted Stevens' bull**** bill that would have allowed oil drilling in Alaska.

Did she??

See im from aus, i dont get what the democrat/republican thing is about and the left/right wing saga is either...

I know stevie has always been very passionate towards the troops

Speaking of Al Gore... i was so surprised when bush was elected because i heard even over here thousands of "miles" away how so many important, popular and infuential celebrities were of the Al gore bandwagon...

For what it's worth Janis, Gore did win.

$8,000. That's not much over 23 years...and nothing between 84 and 99!

Gore lost by one vote! The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to stop the Florida recount.

That's one way of looking at it.

I just dont seem to get why Bush was re-elected.... I was so surprised and even though i know nothing of the man i knew it wasn't a good thing...

He was reelected because Rublicans outnumber Democrats on the Supreme court 5 to 4. Funny coincidence how that was the same vote count to stop the Florida recounts.
