Quote: thedoctor said: A friend of mine and I got into this discussion during the 2000 election fiasco. Many states might want a Republican or Democrat representing them in Washington, but not in their own state capitols. MS pretty much always votes for Republican presidents, but we constantly switch between Republican and Democrat governors. I believe Kirk Fordice (who was pretty much a shit governor) was the first Rep. this state elected as governor in almost 80 years.
I think its fairly universal that the more local the issues, the less difference between the parties on most things anyway.
For example, where I live, one of the most fiscally conservative people in government is a Democrat.
