    • Abstract:
      The article discusses We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States said by Barack Obama. Topics include polarization not as the creation of particular individuals but of interlocking systems; Liberal Republicans like Nelson Rockefeller of New York and George Romney of Michigan found their balancing act harder to maintain; Klein's story of polarization begins in the postwar years when the Democratic National Convention approved a minority plank on civil rights.
