And I live in the most conservative county in the state, and one of the top ones in the nation. It's a bastion of the American Right. I hear our people go to Madison to protest, it's only about 45 minutes away, if that. The opposition to this war in ALL PARTS of Wisconsin was stronger than a lot of people expected. Even our segregated cheese-eating citizens can get upset over something they think is WRONG. I wouldn't say her perception is skewed. I saw demonstrations in Milwaukee at my conservative university that is a bastion of the Religious Right and demonstrations in Waukesha, which wouldn't be any more conservative unless we moved BYU or Bob Jones here. Don't criticize her argument based on location...oh wait, New Yorkers can't hear.
