The real takeaway from Alabama should be the huge divide between rural and urban America. And it just isn't in that Southern State. One can only wonder at the factors that cause this split, but I think it is education, economic potential, religious fundamentalism, and innate stupidity when it comes to knowing what is really in one's own self-interest.
I don't know how this gets healed, but I have a feeling that education and eradication of christian fundamentalism is the answer. The first would be easy to solve. The second would be hard because those evangelicals really love their imaginary friend who lives in the clouds and will give them wings.
