I almost lost it when I pulled into the school parking lot and saw the Jeep I was parked next to last week, all decked out in Obama graffitti. "Rednecks for Obama" said one bumpersticker on that Jeep and I stopped and mused...Rednecks? In Bisbee?!?!
As I write this, South Carolina went to Senator McCain (8) and Vermont went to Obama (3). Neither of those wins are surprises.
