“”I know it’s hard for some Southerners, but there’s a helluvalot of difference between a Yankee and a Cheesehead.””

Southerners are wary of Republicans from Minnesota to Maine. The many years of being dominated by the far left in those states can mess up a Republican’s way of thinking.
I once lived in Austin, TX and on more than one occasion was asked where I was originally from. When I told the questioner I was originally from Milwaukee, invariably their next query was "So, how did you like growing up in Minnesota?"
If I bothered to correct the Texan, I was usually told that "if it's north of the Red River, it's really not that important down here."
The inetersting thing is that the South may hold the key to defeating the Obama crowd and his leftists. DeMint and also the Texas crowd seem to have formed a solid nucleus or rally point politically.The Texans agreed to vote agaist Steele as a block, and surely that must have been very influential on other delegates.
There just wasn’t a strong Southerner in the mix though. Curious.
