Hey, I know the feeling...my state claims both Jeffords AND Leahy as their own. Barf. And there seems to be little the conservatives in the state are able to do about it. There are a few counties (populated mostly by dang flatlanders, i.e. people who moved here) who out-vote us every time. Bustards.

I've still had a few people scold me as roundly as if I hand-picked 'em myself.

In SD, nearly every single elected official we have on every level is a GOP'er. We just have the big Daschle/Johnson stain. BTW, Vermont is way cool.

Flatlanders. LOL. I love that term and first heard it on the CNN gun boards by a pro-2aer. Over in the Upper Penn of Michigan, the term used there for those from the Detroit area are TROLLS.
