IOW - Out here in the HEART of REDSTATE AMERICA this is having absolutely no effect what-so-ever.

My mother is not a well-informed professional, but she was tut-tutting it and started asking me if I'd seen it, if I had heard about it. She doesn't know the details and isn't really interested in them, all she knew was what she picked up in passing off the tv and thought it was "awful". I am sure that she and her sisters are tut-tutting about it when they talk. Sigh. It's not whether this is going to have a big effect on attitudes....it has. The question is how much will still be lingering in a month.

And what did you tell your mother? did you inform her about the truth or did you bash the Republican party the way you do here on FR?
