NYC area

I watched the Town Hall meeting with Senator Amy Klobuchar on Fox and the announcer said here we are in Milwaukee the Buck Eye state. I am once again reminded of how people from the Northeast are not that familiar with the Midwest. Once on Cheers, Norm said his wife was visiting his mother out west and when asked where out west he answered it is one of those rectangular states. People who live in the New York City area are sheltered in many ways from the rest of the country. It is obvious on shows like Morning Joe where a half dozen people, all from the New York City/Washington corridor, sit around and talk politics. They live in a bubble where they all think the same and thus often assume that they represent the thinking of the rest of the country.
