I remember my days in high school. (I don't want to remember middle school at all.) I lived in Western Iowa, and went to a Catholic school. 60% of the school was rabid neocon Repuke, 20% was apathetic, 15% was moderate (from paleo-conservative to centrist Democrat) and 5% (at most) was liberal. Every single girl I had a crush on turned out to be a Republican, except maybe one.

Your son is living through a time where you can be proud to be a Dem. I had to hide it in high school to some extent. I just let off a lot of steam at home. And, in this case, it worked out great that his crush ended up being an Obama supporter as well.
