Sadly, I think it would take a national gestalt to turn Gordon County blue, but your vote still matters in the state-wide and national races, so I am glad that you're here, on DU, and I encourage you to 1) vote regularly, 2) talk about politics with your neighbors (as uncomfortable as that may be), and 3) drive at least one other person to the polls with you when you vote.

If all of us do the three things I list above, we can make a difference.

Cheers!
