and it's hugely Democratic. People only get annoyed at Obama when he says stupid stuff like Medicare and Social Security cuts are on the table. This is a poor state with low wages and people know pretty much that all they'll have when they get too old or sick to work is Social Security.

Once in a while I'll shop in the Republican walled McMansion ghetto and some blowhard will buttonhole me. If subtlety doesn't work, I give him "the face." Works every time.
