The Wet County politicians and liquor stores usually finance the political campaigns of the dry county politicians.
Just as the bootleggers used to finance the Baptist candidates when Oklahoma was dry.
Paid my way through three years of college by running booze to the campus. That March night the referendum passed, I thought my world had ended.
When I was a kid in Ky., the ballot calling for the switch from a dry county to a wet county was the only time when you would see the bootleggers and preachers join forces, to keep the county dry.
