Guess he figures it helped in 2002 it will help in 2004. Will 2 years make a difference? I think so. Hopefully the economy will be his down fall like it was for his dad.

I'd imagine they have a similar situation than we do here in Oklahoma. Our legislature is dominated by democrats because people in rural areas tend to vote democrat 'round these parts. In urban areas where the vote is statewide and we have more people, republicans win.
The rural people showed up in force this year because we had a vote to ban cock fighting. It is thought that that turnout caused the now Democrat gov. to win by 500 votes. ALL of our national congressmen are Republicans though.
