i thought "surely he won't try to salvage this one"... i was wrong.
what i'm trying to say is this: the citizens of oklahoma have dealt with more terrorism deaths than any city outside of nyc... yet their vote was strongly pro-bush. those cities you listed were going to vote democratic no matter the political or security environment (as i'm sure you are perfectly aware of). your slight against rural people was off base anyway, i was just pleased to have such a undeniable rebuttal at my disposal.
