Your point about all politics starting locally is so strategic as be predator-like in accuracy and stealth. The dems have no idea what the seeds being grown locally will reap in the next 10 years. Like a tsunami it does not appear as deadly as it actually will be.
Again, you are missing the point entirely . I carry a gun, and know plenty of gun owners that believe in restrictions. Just because you believe that all gun owners are Appalachian hillbillies with an NRA card does not make it true. I actually believe that most people vote for economic reasons in General elections. They are more concerned with what affects their wallet, over being concerned with who does or doesn't allow access to abortion.
I dont believe that at all...
Now you not only think you know who my kids friends are, but now what I believe..
Most of the country trends left on issues when you take out the politically charged words/terms and ask about the specifics. Topics on state ballots that were passed by voters support that.
The country that voted to give the Senate back to conservative Republicans also voted for more marijuana, fewer abortion restrictions, higher minimum wages, and more gambling.
You do realize that Maryland had a Republican Governor just 8 years ago right? It's not really historic for them to win it again. I also wouldn't count your chickens on those 2 states either as Old Mary has a habit of winning when people say she shouldn't be able to and Ted Stevens lost when all the votes came in from rural districts.
The Democrat party just cast Old Mary adrift.
They just pulled over $2 million in advertising.
She has no chance and they don't wanna waste any more money on her.

No one said that they were just that they are trending more left socially. That's not a fantasy, but a fact.
How do you figure, socially? If you're talking gay marriage, the COURTS have decided it is lawful. Other than that, 31 states have put it to a vote and each and every time, the VOTERS banned gay marriage.
On abortion, the MAJORITY believes abortion should be illegal in all cases except rape, incest.
The gun-grabbers were DEFEATED across the country, their backers (bloomberg) spending millions on a lost cause.
These are all social issues, where the trend is NOT to the Left. What issue you talking about?
