3. wow

David Eisenhower (Ike's Son) came out for Kerry in 2004 too

4. I wish they'd been Democrats back when it would have counted a lot

Julie and David opposing the Vietnam war c. 1970 would have been huge. Instead, they were dutiful Republican children.

9. David Eisenhower is Ike's Grandson.

His father, John, supported Kerry in 2004.

of most of today's Congressional Dems.
