I’ve also lived in different parts of the U.S....New York…Baltimore..,Indiana… N Texas, N Carolina..Virginia and now N Florida but the south takes some beating in being backward thinking....don't want to loose what they see as their "Heritage" I do get your point.....but my point is that in this day and age you would think people and I don't care if they live in the woods/country or wherever got a grip on reality and join the human race!!!

I've lived in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, and I've also lived in middle-of-nowhere in the south. Huge differences. In the urban, educated places, people are intelligent and tolerant. In middle of nowhere is where you see people still complaining about 'Darkies' and afraid that Obama is a secret muslim terrorist and such. Of course, i'm being overly general, but I'm sure you get my basic point. Georgia are quite happy to stay in the dark ages...they don't want to see change of any sort, most of the south will never come into the 21st century.

The ads that Chambliss ran against Max Cleland--there is no excuse for what he did. He is the scum of the universe. <em>Joe McCarthy</em> would have been embarrassed to say that stuff about Cleland.

This way he can still blame the Republicans for obstructionism in the 2010 elections.
