1. Wow. Mostly small town papers for * and big city papers for Kerry.

That has to say something. What exactly, I don't know. Maybe education? Better education leads to better jobs in big cities rather than small towns? And better educated people make better choices for President?

I'm not stepping on the toes of small towns and their citizens. I'd rather live in a small town (only if it's populated by Dems) than a big city any day. But this just looks really interesting to me.

I'm sure someone with an actual education will come along and explain it to me. lol. :crazy:

Edited to add: Maybe 'small town' was the wrong term as some of the papers for * aren't in really small towns. But they do have small circulations.

In the voice of Gilda Radner "NEVER MIND" :crazy: :)

Sigh, I miss her.
