1. Lucky.
I'm seeing more McCain stickers every day.

This place is beyond hope.

8. I live in TN...
It is a lock for McCain, but I have yet to see one McCain bumper sticker, and have seen only one yard sign.

10. Is yours an affluent area?
$$$ must be the motivator cause God knows there's no fuckin way it's logic / reason.

13. I was in an area the of Nashville the other day...
that was once (might still be) the 5th wealthiest area in the nation. I saw no McSame signs. Only a couple Obama, but no McSame at all.

3. Make no mistake, I rarely venture outside of NW Indiana....
I see more confederate flags in Indiana than I did in Virginia.

7. NW Indiana is the smart part..a suburb of Chicago basically...
massive Democratic support. Its the central and southern parts that are scary.

Fundies and repubs like it was Alabama....or Texas.

11. Doh.
I read 'locked up' the wrong way. As in locked up for the other side. D'oh.

It's past my bedtime, so I should probably get off this thing now... I was just so excited after Hillary's speech. :) I had to get on and see what y'all were saying.

G'night, you. :hi:

5. Well...if the 8th district can elect a Dem to Congress, there's hope for the rest of the state.
Landslide in '06...and still a safe seat. Hoosiers are going Blue in '08! :kick:

12. Not going to happen
Too many conservatives and not enough major urban areas.

The trading price on Indiana is approaching 80/20. It was improperly placed on the swing state category on this site and elsewhere, based on irrelevant state polls.

14. Well... as a life-long Hoosier, I beg to differ.
I have seen the shift. If you know anything about the 8th district you would know how significant this '06 shake-up really was.
