Now it votes pseudo confederate. What do you think that says about the education of the region over time since the 1860's?

I blame the rise of conservative talk radio in the 1990s. Hell, they voted for Dukakis in '88.

In 20 short years, it went from reliably Dem in presidential elections (exempting only total national blowouts) to impossibly Republican.
