NASCAR, white socks, and Republicans to the ears

I'd recommend Southwest Virginian Brian Patton's observations on the apparent connection between NASCAR fans and Republicans. I'd also love to hear what Karl Rove and James Carville really think about this. In the alternative, you can click the link to Brian's post on the subject (and resulting comments) at Daily Kos. I haven't been over there since the site owner said about the Americans murdered and hung from the Fallujah bridge "F*ck them, I don't care about mercenaries." Predictably, a sizeable number of the comments addressing Brian's post are moonbat-generated. There is food for thought among them, nonetheless -- posts from NASCAR Democrats, for instance.
