I don't believe that this anti-Science phenomena is limited only to the South. It exists in the Midwest as well and with people such as Rick Santorum.

Because of Santorum's connections to the Discovery Institute and his stance on ID, I have to admit, I am not hoping he wins. Call me a liberal... have me Zotted... I don't care. I really cannot wish for him to win nor any Republican who is for pushing ID into public schools.

You're right about that, of course. And let's not forget about Kansas. I was thinking about the old democrat coalition that included the South, and that coalition no longer exists. The William Jennings Bryan constituency (populism) is far more extensive than the South -- and of course it wasn't 100% of the South either.

[I haven't been following Santorum closely; these remarks are for any candidate who thinks non-science belongs in science class]

Either he believes the DI crap, and is not only scientifically uneducated, but thinks his whims trump actual science, or he knows better and is pandering. In neither case is such a person fit for office.

Weren't some of the astronomers who believed the planets revolved around the sun and not earth also castigated?
