I am so sad right now. I need to vent and them take a break for a while.

66. the conservative places I have lived

have been mostly white

The racial make up of Richland County is 98.39% white.

Hmm, actually voted for Obama by 57-41. (edit, coulda sworn they were a Republican stronghold)

Let's try Beadle County, SD - Romney by 58-40, and 96.93% white.

Of course, before the 2010 bloodbath, South Dakota had a Democratic Representative and one Democratic Senator. In 2004, all three were Democrats. Unfortunately in 2010, Stephanie Herseth lost and Thune ran unopposed in a seat that was once held by Tom Daschle and George McGovern.

As for the Giants, well they cannot beat the Packers in the NFC championship and the Patriots in the Superbowl EVERY year. It just seems that way to a Packer fan.

And for running again, who knows. Not for Treasurer. It turned out I was not all that motivated in the last campaign. Plus by 2018 I expect to be happily retired. I would be more motivated to run for the State House, but my district has a D already. Maybe if she runs for the State Senate in 2016 there will be an opening. But if I am still working full time, I may not have the energy to campaign then either. But at least a House district is considerably smaller than the County.
