Muslim. Kenya. Can you tell she&#39;s a Republican? I refused to take the bait. My husband and I haven&#39;t decided if our daughter will skew Democrat or (eeek) RepublicanenCommunityServer 2007.1 (Build: 20910.1126)http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2008/10/04/should-we-raise-little-democrats-or-republicans.aspx#135350Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:54:27 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:135350Cher Klosner Lane<p>Unfortunately, in many states, independents are not able to &nbsp;vote in the primaries - a little frustrating...
