INDEPENDENT

I am proud to say that my very own Representative Mary Bono Mack voted for the President's clean air and energy act in the House yesterday.

This makes several issues in which Ms. Mack has bucked the leadership of her own party.

One might be cynical and note that her district is more liberal than she has been and voted for Obama in the general election but this has never bothered her or her late husband, Sonny, before.

When Sonny died, she became a hostage of the Republican House leadership and, I am convinced, was intimidated into voting against her constituency and her own personal point of view.

She is emerging from this and becoming her own person. Good for Mary. I might even vote for her over the Democrat in the next election. He is kind of beige. Gay beige, but beige.
