Any state that went for the Dem is now to be considered a "YANKEE" state? So, when New York went for Reagan, then New Yorkers weren't YANKEES? You have a very warped way of deciding who is a YANKEE and who isn't; I must say.
Maybe you should review your posts, as well as your own strange opinions about who is and who isn't a YANKEE. :-)
Well in this case I was trying to be charitable to other states. Being Southern is a much more elite group than that. We see Yankees moving south every day trying to be southern, and well it is kind of embarrassing. But, hey, 2 or 3 generations down the road, their progeny have a chance for better life ;-)
