I was first stung by the disregard of blue-state activists for those of us in flyover country during a panel discussion I attended about campus organizing at the otherwise-great Civil Liberties and Public Policy Conference (CLPP) in Massachusetts.  Our very own Sandra was a moderator and presenter on this panel.
