Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Interesting Theory

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/07/us-states-tightness-looseness-map

But at some levels it still feels descriptive rather than causational.  Or to put it another way: conservative states are shown to be conservative.
