Great book. Really shows you why alot of the poorer states in the US go for the party of the rich and powerful (Republicans). It also gives a decent explanation of how somebody like "W" could get elected president.</div>

For every college slacker voting Democratic because it goes against The Man, there's a farmboy redneck voting Republican because they are "fighting for freedom".</div>
