Alabama Isn't The Most Republican State.

[Syrinx]

Off the top of my head: Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, Alaska, Texas, Mississippi, Arizona, Idaho, South Carolina, and Wyoming.

Those states are all more Republican than 'Bama.

1. Are you trying to make yourself feel better

about living in a red state?

Don't worry about it my freind. I live in Ohio and it went red the last time, too. But I know who I am and that's really all that matters.

5. yes

You're right.

And I think O will go Kerry this time. At least I hope so.

9. You know the old saying

As Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Here's to it going for Kerry next time! :toast:

2. Alabama is a nice state

And I am visiting there in September for a BBQ competition. I am flying to Nashville from NY and driving 2 hours to Decatur. I found it last year and had a blast. This year I am plannig it.

12. It's supposed to be a big deal

Food Network did a special on it a while back, even.

I'll PM you some info.

Edit: I can't find any info just yet, I'll ask my sister, she lives there.

3. Idaho was Bush's best state in 2000

I think he got something like 67 % of the vote.

I know Utah hasn't gone Democratic since '64.

4. neither has Virginia but it could go to Kerry this year which is very good

Consider this, we have mostly GOP reps, 2 GOP senators, and the state never once went for Clinton and Carter.

11. Well, it could be if it just applied itself.
