The fact that their leadership is loaded with hard core lefties is likely to make 2006 a pyrrhic victory for the Dems.

A local radio reporter also smeared the south recently when he said southern states have lower tax burdens. Alabama is one of the lowest in the nation. He ended up saying something like "you would have to decide if it is worth paying low taxes to live in a place like.... ALABAMA." He said it in a sneering, condescending way. I suspect the people in that state like it just fine and find it a good place to live. I have only been to Huntsville AL twice but found it to be a very nice city. It's obvious Rangel, like this liberal reporter, are elitists.
