With the rise of fox news the voting became more and more partisan in an effort to win elections; there are very few people walking a middle ground anymore who have a future in politics it seems. --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:957650760] in Only 7 U.S...

Josiah_Is_Back 09/01/21 7:19:26 PM #5:	Maine and Vermont are kinda weird Maine has an independent senator, a GOP senator and a Democratic governor, while Vermont has an independent senator, a Democratic senator and a GOP governor. I wonder if this variety makes those states more politically balanced than others.... <cite>Josiah_Is_Back posted [p:957650977] in Only 7 U.S...
