Lecture ten was about politics on the plains. Being I tend not to follow politics much, I got to be honest this was my least favorite of the lessons. Political ties on the plains have always been mainly republican excluding Oklahoma. On the political map these state every year are displayed as red states, possibly the only states in the nation that are actually close to deserving that title. Plains politics have always been slightly weird, I will explain of course. On the plains we typically send the republicans to our state offices, but for some reason year after year we send democrats to the senate. While other regions have had their political trends described by scholars the plains have not been able to do that like other areas. Sure one man is currently trying to make an attempt however lets just say that things are not looking hopeful. It was a short lesson but more interesting than I thought it would have been.
