Could Quote by Sharron Angle
“I wasn't political in 1984, but I did have a friend in Winnemucca who was a 'Southern Democrat.' He was raised in Georgia, and when he moved to Nevada, he was still a Democrat, and he ran for office, and I knew that I couldn't vote in the primary for him if I wasn't a registered Democrat. So I registered Democrat so I could vote for my friend.”
