re: #26 Cannadian Club Akbar

Sorry. I meant Repub because of the military there.

Only during the Reagan-phenomenon did the military become associated so strongly with the Republican party.

Here in SD the GOP has carried the county in Presidential elections fairly consistently in the past 50 years or so, but the margins can be small, and this is California after all, not Texas or Mississippi, and “Republicans” here can be much more like Schwarzenegger or Eastwood much more often than like Bachmann or Paul.
