If it is true that they have a bar in the LIO, I might even think about voting for a Democrat, not long, but I might think about it.   Can't say I've never had a drink in the Capitol, but you were expected to be very discrete about it even fifteen or twenty years ago.   Twenty or thirty years ago, the air in the SOB parking garage was filled with sweet perfume and a goodly number of State employees came back from lunch either vibrating from the line of coke or a little unsteady from drinking lunch.   That had all gone away by the '90s and the "social life" in the Legislature was absolutely boring.   There is this fondly held mythology about life in government; mostly all there is in government, especially at the higher levels, is a lot of hard and unappreciated work and very long hours.   If you're doing your job, you don't have much time to party.
