[Vision2020] National perception of the Palouse

[eevans@moscow.com]

I think this perception of the palouse is unique to football/sports circles. 
Outside that, there is no particular perception at all. Rather, the western 
side of the US (those states west of New Hampshire) is seen as a blurry area 
full of bears, trees, and Republicans, terminated by Seattle and California on 
the far edge.

I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing.
