Subject: RE: BS: State of Maine- and it's state
I think as you move into the "hinterlands" the Tea Baggers are well represented. In most Midwestern states they have, in one form or another, taken over state legislatures and executive branches. Some weaker, some stronger, but they are there as members of the GOP with bagger influences such as Scott Walker in Wisconsin and to a lesser degree, John Kasich in Ohio.
Outside the cities the GOP/baggers do pretty well. Obama carried Ohio based on the 3C cities as the rest of the state was bright red. The Ohio legislature has passed and are working on passing all of the anti-woman, anti-choice legislation they can muster. We have one very progressive Senator in Sherrod Brown but the other is a lame ass, Rob Portman.
All across the country except in some cities, the bagger influence is pretty strong. It is no wonder that they are standing against any immigration laws short of stopping any and all completely! Pretty sad state of affairs...........
