What makes me uncomfortable in all this red state/blue state talk is that
people like me who happen to be liberal in a red state just don’t seem to
count. We get written off because we’re surrounded by conservatives.I live in Kentucky. Kentucky went 60/40 for Bush. But 40% is a fairly
sizable minority.My family, my husband’s too, have lived here in Kentucky since the early
19th century. We have very deep roots. Is our only hope to pull up and
move to Massachusetts?I was raised a Southern Baptist but so were Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Al
Gore.Most of my family are old-time Roosevelt Democrats but I have two brothers
and some young nephews who voted for Bush. They can be pretty patronizing
but they’re not evil.I don’t know. I worry that this red/blue dichotomy is as oversimplifying
as the black/white one.Sherry C.
