The Democrats just had a lineup of “normal” Americans speak. Among them was a rather androgynous woman from North Carolina who claimed to be a lifelong Republican who is now voting for Obama. But she had a hyphenated last name, Cash-Roper. Hyphenated last names are eschewed among Republicans and among Southerners generally. How many 50-something women (she said she voted for Nixon) from North Carolina are life-long Republicans AND have hyphenated last names? I’d say the number approaches zero.
