You can check the Fulton election results by precinct and Romney easily won Buckhead.

And I have heard about Romney signs being vandalized... so please. The left behaves so greatly! Never saw bad behavior like OWS had at a tea party event.

Romney won by 65% to 35% in District 8. That's the west side of Buckhead.

However, on the east side of Buckhead (District 7) the vote was 52% Romney/48% Obama.

It's not quite that simple, and it's not just these two counties, but you do have a point. Stereotypes almost always have a thread of truth in them, and this is no exception. Thankfully the modern south is progressing past this, but in many rural areas this progress is very slow.

This is true. Many young people and young families with kids in the northern suburbs.

It's an interesting dichotomy, isn't it? You'd think they are mutually exclusive, but they're not. C'mon up and visit a trailer park or a low-income neighborhood. They'll tell you all about how they got right with jay-sus, how we need to get prayer back in public schools, and how "killin' babies" (abortion) just breaks their hearts. If you're lucky, they might even show you their Precious Moments angel tattoos. You can probably pay in rocks of crystal instead of cash.

This could be arranged. How much are you willing to pay?
