My wife and I lived in Raleigh in the late 1980’s and we use to wonder who was worse in the area: the northern left wing idiots or the eastern left wing idiots.
those from the upper midwest are pretty much southerners with funny accents except from the Union blue who are clustered in all those neighborhoods around Spring Hill and Thompson's Station
whites from Detroit I know here are under no illusions about what Obamaworld is really like and even some UAW guys are quietly not Democrats
