   It’s true. The South is not about ambivalence. They will either love or hate this President Santorum Frothy Chocolate Cream Pie: http://tinyurl.com/87dglqn

   GREAT!!!! Succinct! You really captured the ludicrous posturing of the candidates, as well as some of the intrinsic truths that differentiate the ‘North’ from the ‘South.’ Well done indeed! ~ Ayanna Nahmias

     Thank you…but as much as I’d like to take credit for it, this was repost of a Washington Post article

     You are right though, it does make some interesting distinctions between the worldviews of people living in these two parts of the US.

   I thought the reference to “claiming southern heritage, when you’re from Miami” was a funny one. I’m in Florida, and parts of it are “the South”, but that’s only true the further north you go. Down in South Florida, where I am, there are plenty of proper southerners but also a lot of other types of folks from all over, and that makes it less solidly “Deep South” than the Panhandle. Unfortunately for me, I live in a semi-rural area where gun racks and Confederate flags are still easy to spot. It’s tough to be someone with a Northern perspective in a pocket of Southern mentality like this one.
