    If you really want to get depressed about Silly Season, look into public opinion some. Not what it is a saying, but the issues with collecting it and understanding it. That stuff is utterly terrifying.

I live in a very red state (60% Romney). I've gone all the way around from depressed to frustrated to hopeful to "aw, fuck it."

Right there with you, buddy. I start thinking of leaving the South every election, but that would be too much like conceding that the whole region belongs to those guys. Also people from the west coast look at me like they're wondering how many cycles there are in my family tree when they hear my accent.

I'm a very liberal, borderline socialist, who likes firearms. In a red state. I feel like this image every time I go to a gun show.

I'd say spread a little history, but that might not be the safest thing in the world.
