Some identification is completely unnecessary

Like this one:

BOULDER, Colo. — Molly Winter, a longtime supporter of Mark Udall, the Democratic congressman for this liberal-leaning city nestled up against the Rocky Mountains, got up Tuesday, looked at the shambles of her 401(k) retirement plan, and dashed off an e-mail message to Mr. Udall. It was laced, she said, with some very pointed questions.

“I asked him what his plan is now to reinstate the value in my 401(k),” said Ms. Winter, 58, who works for the city and identified herself as a Democrat.

I mean, come on, it's pretty obvious that a bureaucrat who writes her congressman because her own investment decisions are not panning out is probably a Democrat.
