They're a weird bunch -- (I'm talking about my extended family) -- most all of them are from Southern Illinois and have never been off the back 40 (except on like a Celebrity cruise or something) -- and they're an interesting study. My grandad was a FIERCE Democrat, meaning exactly Dixiecrat or Butternut Democrat -- whatever you want to call Strom Thurmond -- and the kids (my aunts and uncles) grew up and voted Democrat, until (guess when?) 1994 when Rush and Newt started pounding Clinton like a Repuke on a sheep, and they were "caught up" in the GOP delusional "Core Amaricun Values" narrative, and fully most of them switched to Republicans to get away from the commies -- (my question: how, exactly did it get WORSE these commie accusations AFTER the end of the cold war????)

But Johnny Edwards (and Bush's total idiocy, blundering and dishonesty) made them interested, and many of them registered to vote in the Dem primary -- and they all wanted Edwards, oddly enough.

But since JE dropped out, they've been courted by Karl Rove, once again.

It's really weird. I've tried to talk to them from time to time and they really don't know too much. They are RIPE RIPE RIPE for media maniupulation. That's seriously how I think MOST of the electorate decides their votes.
