Ron, please don`t accuse me of writing without thinking.

The fact that the people in the audience booed Mr. Taylor doesn`t mean that much. There might have been a majority of Bush`s supporters at the meeting, but this seems quite normal to me. So what?

The article JtS quoted that he had been politicly active for a while - so the people of his town would have known his political preferences already. It also said that the reactions the local newspaper received were in a majority of 4:1 supporting Mr. Taylor. It also said that the developers (his potential business partners) didn`t seem to mind and Mr. Taylor himself is not worrying about his business - and he should know it better than we do from afar.
