You live in the Damascus/Mt Airy area, which is very conservative. Every second person there is driving an F-250 dually. In other words, you live in America. This has nothing in common with the People’s Socialist Democratic Republic of Montgomery, where everything is Bush’s fault.

Yep you got the area. Your NOT getting the point.

We are a strongly republican area -- BUT republicans vote here in low numbers since they assume that it will do no good in a heavy blue state...most don't expect to have any affect on the the gambling and gay marriage issues.

If the republican turn out here is HUGE -- FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, than it means that it is very likely that the RED turnout in the swing states -- NOT MD -- will surprise the pollsters and their +9 dem calculations.

Sometimes we have to spell our points out...;)
As I said up thread, voting in blue states for the R/R ticket improves their standing nationally (mandate voting.)
