Sure, the local party is hardly worth a bucket of warm spit; how about the presidential primary? You shut yourself out of that one too.
Also consider going somewhere like Kentucky, Missouri, or Tennessee....
Presidential primary? I voted for Gingrich in the 2012 presidential primary. In 2008 I voted for Duncan Hunter in the presidential primary. See what I mean?
As for moving: I am 62. I’m a Southerner who is in Illinois because I was transferred up here. I’ll be retiring in about 3 years, and at that time my wife and I will be going home to Dixie.
After this miserable election, Hubby and I are stepping up our research into a near-future move to a Red State. So far SC and GA top the list. We've GOT to get out of The People's Republik of Connecticut before the sh*t really starts hitting the fan... unfortunately it'll probably be at least a couple of years before we can leave.
