Poor people in my area of the state votes Republican. TheRealThing what's up with that.....eriously:

Well 64, it's like I've said on here many times. Democrats have managed to put together a coalition to win the districts of high population areas. Still, to understand how overwhelmingly conservatives dominate this land, have a look at this county by county map of how the last election vote went;

As you can plainly see, not many folks in Kentucky voted for Barack. In fact, the red shaded areas on the map very clearly demonstrate how completely this nation is dominated by the Republican vote. But, that isn't the plan as long as the Dems can continue to win the high population centers. By concentrating their firepower in these highly populated areas, or the blue spots on the map, where millions of folks are wedged into big cities, they manage to win enough electoral votes to win the presidency. Kentucky isn't exactly a swing state and has gone Republican 7 out of the last 10 elections. Yeah, Kentucky voters are smarter than most and doing their part, as Kentucky usually goes for the Republican candidate but, we're just one little 8 electoral vote state.

Barack only won by 5 million votes, 65 to 60 million was the popular tally. Considering there are over 70 million in just one voting block alone, the baby boomers, who tend to lean conservatively in their views, it is easy to see how tenuous Democrat's hold on power really is.
