With the exception of one dingbat couple the entire group were Conservatives and very pissed off Conservatives. It broke their hearts to leave the state they had been born in, a state where their ancestors had been for generations but they felt they had no choice.
Once the subject came up that they were moving out of state all of their frustration would come boiling out of them. It was sad really but I know they'll make us proud in their new state.
Thank you very kindly for that very HOPEFUL report.
I have a little experience with something like this myself, having been in a position where I could choose between two states from which to commute to my job in D.C.
I did not choose Maryland.
Then one time we were looking to buy a house. It was an election year. We pulled up to a rather nice place, but the political signs up and down the street told us all we needed to know. We told the real estate agent to keep driving. She was puzzled and we didn’t elaborate. But with so many neighborhoods to choose from, we felt there was no way we would knowingly plop down in the middle of a steaming stew of Rat voters.
