I know. I’m just saying none of our states are an island unto themselves. A lot of people are concerned about what goes on in all of them and how it effects us nationally. Some because they want to see Conservatives return to power, and some, like that certain other FReeper, who prefer the left continue to take the GOP on a course to extinction (like Massachusetts).
I understand completely -- I'm one of those people. It's just that I notice some out-of-staters (not you, but you-know-who) only seem to chime in when they've got something pejorative to write.
