I am in the crew that counts the votes in my area. In a county where there are less than 10 registered DEMS, (YEP you read that right, less than 10, a lot less than 10 actually) Kerry got more votes than you would have guessed. Nader got votes here. A lot of folks fault out didn't vote in the Presidential contest while the rest of their ballots were carefully filled out.

Oh, our state elected a DEM governor and passed a medical marijuana initiative.

Believe me when I say if my county is not solid red, no county is. We need only to build bridges to rural voters instead of acting toward them the way right wing pundits tell them ALL Liberals thing of them. Some of the shit I saw espoused here the other night was the same kind of bigotry I always believed Liberals worked to eradicate. Made me ashamed. What I learned is there are some knee-jerking hot heads on all sides of politics.

If we treat all Americans decently, get our message out about Democratic Party policy goals and show America there are win/win solutions to the problems we all face, we can win these people back. They were once the backbone of the party.
