As I said in another thread (perhaps to you, in which case I apologize), I attended High School in Columbia, and we're all now late 40s to early 50s. Mostly, but certainly not all white. Mix of kids from Columbia, Clarksville area, & Laurel at that time. I'd say 90% of my classmates who are still in the area supported Hogan. Taxes, gun rights, and (I suspect) racism were the chief factors. Of course I could be wrong about race, given the level of Ben Carson support some of them have expressed
