Alabama was Democratic for almost a century after Reconstruction, and the state had its first majority-Republican legislature in 2010 after Barack Obama was elected.

George Wallace was a Democrat.

When we left Tulsa, I remember a little asshole named Jim Inhofe, who was noted for "suing his own brother" but was still winning elections! Now he carries snowballs on the Senate floor and ponders global warming.

I'm just sayin' - I won't be blaming no machines.

I blame voters.
