I'm definitely in the "wouldn't eat fruitcake on a bet" category, myself.
Suzette Haden Elgin recently posted on her lj, ozarque, a theory about why so many of "us" vote for "them." It was the first time I'd ever seen a speculation which made sense to me. Essentially, what she offered was the idea the stereotypical Red State/heartland voter is voting against their own economic and social interests because they're voting FOR people who share their worldview. For the first time, they feel empowered on the national and international stage.
I don't really have anything to add here except a generic statement of both support and bogglement. The Law of Unintended Consquences radically sucks. I'm sorry.
