It is all too common for our friends on the right to depict the Democrats as Northeastern liberals out of touch with the common folk in Americas. They want to raise all of their taxes and abort all of their children. The 2006 midterm elections proved this to be a great fallacy. Meet Jon Tester, a farmer from Montana, who was elected to the Senate by defeating incumbent Conrad Burns. Hardly a Washington insider, this guy is the heart of America in a man. A farmer who serves in the state legislator in Montana and has struggled to get by. This guy has a flat top that he pays $8 every three weeks to get redone at his local barber shop. And this guy is a Democrat.

So anyway, the New York Times did a story on him today that was very encouraging for those sick of the stereotypes our party gets from the other side. Read it here.
