The Iron Range is Democrat/Union territory.
Alaska is “mind your own damn business” territory.
Not even close.
If the bumper stickers had read Palin/McCain instead of the other way around, we’d never have had to suffer through Obozo’s idiocy.
YEP!
First of all, I grew up near Bemidji, not on the Iron Range (though I was born there), but I didn’t meant politically anyway. I meant in terms of the MSM making fun of her accent, being a “hockey mom,” snowmobiling, etc. Basically, calling them northern rednecks. That definitely bothered me a lot, so I wanted to be clear that I’m not coming from the coastal elitist “look at these rubes” mindset.
Politically, I agree Minnesota is pretty far off from Alaska, though as the old dyed-in-the-wool union Democrats start to die off, that will hopefully change.
