The blue line in the center of Alabama is mainly due to some very LIBERAL rags there. I am from there, and the newspapers there are pretty outrageous. Also, this line covers the state capital.
I disagree; I've heard several say that a "town hall" is not a good forum for Bush, but I actually think that is where he is at his best. Prepared scripts and teleprompters always give him fits, but when he speaks "off the cuff", I've ALWAYS been impressed...
The article admits that some ex-cons would vote republican. So what? I don't want felons to vote. Period. You screw up and commit a crime, too bad. Maybe you should have thought of that before you committed the crime. Being "rehabilitated" means squat to me. If you robbed a bank, molested a kid, beat up somebody, I don't care what, you don't get to vote. That's part of the punishment for what you did, and in my opinion, you'd be getting off easy. The only thing they should be allowed to vote on is whether or not their cell is 6 by 9, or 9 by 6.
