actually, a rural upbringing and education means the same thing in west virginia as it does in vermont. these states are known as that to someone who lives in austin. congrats, but I will take my first hand experience over your third hand experience. also, you can't educate someone to not hate. just thought I would let you know.

These states are known for their tolerance and quality public education.

I lived in rural Vermont for several years. Putney, to be exact-- a town of about 2,000 where 80% of the residents (basically all white) voted for John Kerry. Where in rural Vermont did you live?

Just thought I'd let you know that tidbit about me.

you think that an extremist is going to carry a state that probably hasn't voted for a democrat in 1000 years? good logic.

Vermont? Great judges you have there, are the convicted child molesters allowed to vote? BTW, this "poll" is over a month old.

You do realize that Maine is a "blue" state?

Latest poll is Obama+8.

Sorry, read that wrong.

However, NH has gone blue the last 3 of 4 elections.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - New Hampshire: McCain vs. Obama

I fail to see the "explosion". The last poll had Obama by 3? Where's the big deal?
