it is like going back in time when you leave population centers.

I have been wracking my brain as to what happened a year ago. I have a good friend who was defeated last year when most everyone thought his seat was safe.

The only thing i can come up with is that race was a much more prevalent issue than we understood, especially among workers and union members. Boy did the legislature and governor ever screw them over.
