The press interviews real people in fly-over
RantingProfs posted this article on NBC going to the Midwest to interview folks there about the war. I cracked up when I read this:On the one hand, it is nice to see that sort of fly over country, small town, Red state America given a voice, since the media will never settle for polls alone to represent the American voter.

Look! We found people who still support the war!
"what almost amounts to a foreign country" is a great description. I grew up in Indiana and now live in Colorado. I lived in the San Jose, CA area for 11 years and I definitely felt like I was in a foreign country. I feel the same when I visit NY or Boston....
