Reply #23: Only a non-southerner would ask this.

[TexasSissy]

Although I live in Texas now, which I consider the southwest, I was born and raised in the deep south.

It'd take too long to explain, and I'd get too many arguments against my statements, so suffice it to say that southerners don't NEED a southerner on the ticket....but it helps.

I'll just give you one clue: Remember Howard Dean's statement? Until he made that statement, I had not noticed he was a "yankee" with a warped view of the south. But I was quickly reminded.

Yes...I'd like a southerner on the ticket. But I'm voting for Kerry (that is to say, against Bush), no matter who is on the ticket.

(BTW, I have never owned a confederate flag, or put one on a pickup truck.)
