That should read "...Senator Jarrett Barrios".

Thanks for the link.

Oops, just fixed it. Thanks.

Thanks for the link, Jeff.

A "more civil tone", eh? Well, I guess that's in contrast to Ted Nugent's remarks.

Note that we don't know yet what Colorado Springs is going to do re. the Denver gun law lawsuits.

For the record, Ithaca is a very liberal town. Actually, "hippie town" would be a good description. However, Ithaca guns is there... (well, a few miles outside Ithaca)

Ithica is a college town (which -- and maybe this is my bias -- usually means a liberal town).

I'll second that Nate. I grew up a few miles east of there - the Ithaca Commons was the best place outside of The Village in NYC to see the best freaks the left has to offer.

I don't know why it won't take my comments, it keeps giving me a "questionable content" error, even though there is no swearing (or incorrect grammar and punctuation that I can tell) in the post.

Anyway, my point was having attended college there, that outside of Ithaca proper it is very rural, with lots of farms, wineries, etc. Those folks wouldn't find these activities uncommon at all. Having two large colleges in a small town skews the demographics of the voters a bit.

I grew up in Ithaca. The town itself is very liberal (though its freak parade, of which I used to be a very peripheral member, can't hold a candle to Berkeley's, where I live now), but TheFaz is right ... 5 miles out of town and you're in Northern Appalachia.
