Yep- no doubt about it, it was those angry white males who brought down this "progressive" Governor. That's their story, and they're stickin' to it.

It wasn't just angry White Southern Males. We Ladies had a hand in it too. I know people who voted this time who has never voted in their lives. Trouble was they wasn't voting for anything, just against Barnes.

If Barnes had put the flag issue to a vote not one word would have been said if it came down. But he sneaked it in the backdoor and tried to get a vote on it without anyone being told. Then he used his power of Governer to twist the arms of the ones that were against him by threating to with hold money from the state for their district.

He also made the comment that he wasn't worried about the next election, that the voters would forget about it by then. We didn't. In fact I would say that Southerners are notorious for holding grudges.

Was it the flag? Oh yeah, it was.
