Quick question. Do you think yesterday’s terror attack attempt help Moore
Heard Laura Ingram yesterday say it probably wouldn't, but I imagine AL, like FL has lots of transplanted NY-ers, surely some of them may be influenced by this ACT OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM to vote the right way.

No, Alabama (and Mississippi likewise) has no “attraction” to those from NY-NJ-MA who retire south. it repulses them actually.

“Retire to Florida” has ALWAYS been an attraction to the Northeast liberal-socialists. Of course, that used to mean the (used-to-be-majority-Jewish) neighborhoods around Miami, but Orlando-Tampa-west coast are now slightly cheaper targets for retirement as well - and still imply that “glamour” of Miami to their neighbors back north. And the “glamour” of showing up the neighbors left back in the snow IS a very real thing.

But “Retire to Alabama” ???? No, never will be attractive to the majority of Yankees. Retire to Atlanta, to Asheville, to the “Golden Triangle” of the Carolina’s? Somewhat. At least those are not repulsive to a northeast liberal who has never driven nor left “the city”

I kinda doubt it.

Florida has been attracting domestic immigrants from the Northeast since the early 1900s. Alabama - not so much. Culturally, it's still very much the Deep South.
