Reply #44: If the only people who voted

[Dhalgren]

were the more urban, better educated folks, then maybe the dems would have a fighting chance. But, the national republicans work the local issues and many of the voters do not see a separation between the two. I know plenty of folks who consistantly vote against their own interests because the Dems are pro-choice. That's all, just that one issue - and there is a lot of folks down here who do that. Not just the pro-choice issue, but all of the "moral" or "christian" issues, and to them "local" and "national" have no meaning.
