There is an active community of democrats, progressives, evironmentalists, etc., scattered throughout the state and on every level of government. just because you didn't meet any when visiting doesn't mean they don't exist, they're just not as organized or vocal as the others. If you'd pull your head out of your misinformed tuckus, maybe you'd notice things like that. That, and the spelling of our esteemed nepotism-challenged junior Senator. Also, as someone who also spent time with the native populations, Northern Exposure is pretty much right on the money. At least as much as the West Wing.
