take a look at the kerry electoral map from:

see that blue swatch right across alabama? what's the demographjic there? where is it exactly?



I'm in atlanta, and it seems a bit south to be I-20...but i don't know.

1. the Black Belt

poorest areas of Alabama.

[InternalScrutinizer]

2. It starts around Montgomery & Meridian and goes South from there

[quaoar]

3. Those are all

black-majority counties.

Just like the blue counties in Mississippi along the river. That area is called the Delta. It's as poor as the Black Belt, which is so called because of the rich soil. That was where all the cotton was grown.

4. Some of the poorest counties in the nation

But they must be some pretty smart folks. Unlike the dumbasses of Shelby, Houston, and Baldwin. :mad:

6. Hey now, I'm in Houston Co

And we're working on it lol!

5. I'm from Atlanta....great place.

A couple of these counties are in my congressional district. Unfortuntely my county is red red red.

7. Let me guess......

these areas (the blackbelt and the delta) got NO attention during the campaign, did they?

[BamaGirl]

8. I don't think most of us across the state did.

Where I live we got some commercials because our tv stations have FL viewers. Otherwise, not a peep from anyone.

[Syrinx]

9. not quite

They showed those commercials in Birmingham and Huntsville too, which have no bearing on Florida.

There's a movement afoot to kick Redding Pitt out of the Dem chairmanship, but I think that might be a mistake.
