Post-election chat with Seymour Hersch

[cema]

Baltimore, Md.: [...] "Backwards" southern and western neighbors? Can't you see that this attitude is one of the very reasons that these so-called "backwards" people don't pay attention to candidates from the coasts?

Too many stereotypes being reinforced by you, and I'm not talking about the midwestern one. Looking down your nose at others not like yourself sure isn't going to entice anyone to vote for your side.

For what it's worth, I voted for Kerry...

Seymour Hersh: [...] i did not see any evidence that kerrey talked down to any group, or dealt with them in terms of stereotypes. he simply refused to publicly attacks homosexuality.

What, does not he just understand what he is being asked?

Aside note: plenty of calls from familiar place names. Maryland, I miss you.
