And that doesn't really mesh with what I saw -- lots of young people (I believe I saw every pierced kid in town) friendly seniors (except a couple) and the positive responses to us outweighed negative about 5:1 -- although they did have bigger problems in the staunch German Catholic community to the south (apparently screaming obscenities at middle aged women across the street is A-OK, but choice isn't).

I saw more Kerry signs around here than I have EVER seen for a Dem candidate in this area. BC04 were about what I'd expect for a "normal" election. Granted, the area south is seriously anti-choice, but that is very close to the Shelby County line, where it gets severe.
