Look again - there is plenty of red in the north and plenty of blue in the south.
What do you blue zone socialists have now besides gay pride parades and leaders such as Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy?
Ever hear of Al Gore or John Edwards? How about Nagin? or Bill Clinton?(Southerners all)
Gay pride parades?
Obviously you haven't spent much time in Atlanta (or Hotlanta - as the gay crowd calls it), have you? There are plenty of limp wristed lisping queens parading their "pride" all through the south.
Nice try.
Or LBJ? Or Fritz Hollings? Or Jimmuh Carter?
