The Cut-throat business of politics

I've lived in the midwest my whole life. I've had 19 years of experience with the close-minded conservatives that live in this area. I could see a vampire having a chance in California or New York. But in this virginal area of the US, it is highly unlikely many people will give him credit. He could be a very intelligent, very qualified person. I'm not saying that. Just that it is unlikely for him to be accepted.
