1. IND: 71 - 23 - 6

That's huge right there... if we own 3/4 of the "middle"... the team that flip-flops.. we're doing very well.

Let the Republicans keep digging their hole.. give them a shovel named Palin!

3. true, unfortunately I think it's that strong support of Independents that are making some dems

in the WH and congress a little too timid in confronting the GOP on some issues because they don't want to upset the middle.

2. There is still a whole lot of racism in the South

A whole lot indeed.

4. unfortunately that seems to be the case. Why else for the huge divide compared to the

rest of the country?
