Following up on a response that I gave a local liberal who asked why some in the conservative movement were slow to embrace Sarah Palin when the base quickly embraced her, someone else sent me this article on Northeast Corridor Conservatives. It's an interesting point worth discussing about a cultural divide within the conservative movement. However I think the divide is not so much regional as there may be other factors, and we can see a cultural divide among conservatives even here in Wisconsin. It's more or less aggravated depending on the issue.
Anyway, I also posted this over at the Wisconsin Institute for Leadership for discussion.
