4. say yah to the UP eh?

It's true... the UP is a whole different ball gmae than say Nebraska... it's rural, but not farm country... this goes back to the idea that the reds win by getting small populations excited about one issue (and NOT the health of the nation). Pick guns... guns and repugs=good. Pick gays... gays bad=repugs. War? Hmmmm... War OK. Social security... huh? Health insurance... huh? Deficitwhah?

I'm not trying to dis UPers.

one of my fav sites: http://www.dayoopers.com/

But you get a lot of small groups who decide to REALLY unite behind ONE issue (verus a holistic approach to da US) and yer screwed.
