Iowa

I moved to IA from CA in 68, and then in 89 I moved back to OK wnere I was born and grew up.

Growing up in OK and going to college in TX (both with high % of SoBaptists) I learned early what the close association between politics and church meant. Of course, when I was growing up, OK was a 1 party (democrats) state, but the church was allied with the politicians.

For example, when JFK was suggested as the VP candidate at the 56 democratic national convention, staunch SoBaptist OK senator Robert Kerr stopped the idea. It was obvious to me that he knew no SoBaptist would vote for a Cafholic.
