I want to say this, even though it will be seen in a bad light but the responsibility lays directly in the hands of the Democrats who cannot seem to understand that 2/3rds of the state needs what the Eastern 1/3 have.

I was not a Howard Dean fan but I have to say that when he began the 50 state plan this state started to look better. Dems do not want to go out in the country areas, there are too few people and they are scattered so why bother? The Republicans bother and always have. The money and support from Deans plan, plus a LOT of pushing from those of us who believed the idea was a great one, got them out there. I don't know if they are just too afraid or just have written it off but neither of those are good reasons. Republicans and their signage and their awful ideas are out all the time but the Dems just like to stay quiet. When we got loud and went out there we did better. Why did that stop? It was not because there was not support for it.
