14. Work downtown Indy, and live in the 'burbs.

Just one of the nameless faces that commute each day. In my minivan. Kinda like Clark Griswold.



But I don't mind. I kinda like the anonymity of it all. And I really love my wife and kids...

[theeorg]

15. It's a pretty nice place...

I lived there for 3 years (Indy and Bloomington) and married a Hoosier. We live on the East Coast now, but enjoy visiting. It's a suprisingly pretty state!

:hi:

[cycleberg]

16. Mooresville (SW Indy)

Husband and I have been in IN near 2 years, from Houston.

been watching DU since 2001.

I'd go nutz here if it weren't for DU. Glad to see I'm not the only non-rightwinger around!

[Sadie5]

29. Mooresville,

You are not far from Avon.

[faithfulcitizen]

62. Hi from Plainfield!

Aren't many of us in Hendricks County! :)

[yellowdog]

68. Former Hoosier here.

I used to work at the Galyan's in Plainfield back in the '80's. I was also at the Castleton & Greenwood stores, but Plainfield was the most fun.

[Ariana Celeste]

101. lol. Tell me how to have fun in Plainfield!

I sure haven't figured it out yet... maybe it's just cuz I'm not 21 yet? ;)

[DrGonzoLives]

102. Get on I-70 East

and head to Indy.

[cycleberg]

55. Going back to Houston

Family and friends back there. Husband said that enough was enough with his job here. And I've haven't even found one here yet....

I guess I'll be posting in the TX forum.
Bye ya'll!

[Metatron]

18. Indianapolis n/t

[bloom]

19. Owen County

Not so far from Terre Haute...but we're on the Bloomington side.

[salin]

20. between two cities these days

Bloomington and Indy - time in each city. Am a native "bloomingtonian" who has kept leaving the state... and keeps coming back. Have done stints on both coasts and one further north in the midwest.

[LatteLib]

22. NW Indiana

LaPorte County

[Susie K]

23. Anyone in IN read this story in NUVO?

http://www.nuvo.net/archive/2004/04/14/marching_for_freedom.html

Check it out...and read the crazy replies.

[Sadie5]

31. I post on their board

It's great fighting with the compassionant conservatives.

[PVnRT]

25. Terre Haute as well

n/t

[LynzM]

28. You're at Rose, right?

Are you going to the Kerry meetup tomorrow night? Coffee Grounds @ 7... I'll be there~ :)

[thinkingwoman]

26. south central indiana

I live in that backward*ss no man's land south of Bloomington and north of the Ohio river.

Pity me.

[salin]

27. Ah - but that area is beautiful

where the rolling hills begin, the state and national forests flourish, and hoosier scenery is at its finest.

[thinkingwoman]

34. yes it is

I'm a little biased, but I think it's one of the most beautiful spots in our country.

[Indiana_Dem]

38. Oh that's a beautiful area!!!

I traveled down to Corydon and back up from Santa Claus for a trip one time and I just thought that area was sooooo pretty. You get to be near the colleges, the caves, the parks, and all the little tourist traps around down there!

Pardon me, but I'm the one in no man's land between Indianapolis and Chicago!!!! Nothing but flatlands and cornfields.

[yellowdog]

39. South Central Indiana?

I grew up in Loogootee and then lived in Washington for 8 years so I know the area very well. I live in Iowa now which has a lot more Democrats but I still miss Indiana.

[Honest_Abe]

45. Washington here.

Yellowdog, I went to college in Iowa, moved to Loogootee for a few years and then to Washington for tghe past 20 years or so.

[salin]

46. Welcome to DU, Honest_Abe!

[newyawker99]

47. Hi Honest_Abe!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[yellowdog]

51. Guess you were my replacement, huh?

At least I can feel secure that you kept the Democratic population stable.

[ieoeja]

53. Only Locally

Most people in Loogootee still call themselves Democrats. And they vote for Democrats for local offices. But for US Senate, House and Presidency, Republicans nowadays carry the city and the surrounding area by huge margins. Because everybody knows that national Democrats are baby-killers who are going to take their guns.

We just have to ignore the failure of Democrats to take their guns when they controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency during Clinton's first two years in office.

We also have to ignore the failure of Republicans to remove controls on their guns during their control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency for three of the four years W has been in office.

[ieoeja]

50. A bunch of Arvins?

Another Loogootee ex-pat here. Actually I'm a proud graduate of Rutherford Elementary. Then LHS in '80 and IU in '84. After a few months in Indy moved to the suburbs of Chicago in '85 then finally to Chicago proper in '87 where I still reside.

It took a heck of a long time, but I suppose I'm more Chicagoan than Hoosier now. Still get down there most holidays to visit the folk and wander the farm. And I get the Loogootee Tribune courtesy of my parents.

There is no God but Knight, and Butcher is his prophet.

[yellowdog]

52. LHS Class of '65

OK, so I'm an old fart.

[ieoeja]

54. That's four years before St John's burnt down.

I know my mother's family went to St. John's. And I think my father's did as well. So wouldn't have any family members in your class.

Actually, I can't think of anyone I know whose family went to LHS. Protestants were such a small minority when I was growing up that I just assumed everyone was Catholic.

That was, of course, a pretty ridiculous assumption. I suppose Protestants just kept silent when folk talked about anything church related, and I just didn't notice. Kinda sad, but better than noticing and remarking too much on it I suppose. I wore my atheism proudly on my sleeve in those days, but during the 70s nobody cared.

Nowadays, a neighbor recently refused to sell my father some land because he is an atheist. I get lectured and screamed (what's up with that?) at. And one relative and one former friend have forbidden me from coming around their children since it is assumed that I, as an atheist, must be a sexual pervert. I wish I were stretching some of this to make a point. But sadly I am not.

Which is why there isn't much chance of me moving back to Loogootee ever again.

[Piltdown13]

33. I'm in Bloomington

Finishing up my Ph.D. at IU. I grew up in Texas and went to undergrad in Boston and have been pleasantly surprised at what a nice place B-ton is to live. (Not that I ever expected to live here *quite* as long as I have...lol! Maybe living in a nice environment makes it seem a little less necessary to rush through; well, that and the horrible academic job market.)

[ElaineinIN]

58. It must be...

All I have to say is, go Terriers!

Hope all is well!

[Sgt. Peppers]

35. Bedford :)

And a ex- Muncie person.

[shimmergal]

36. Not living there anymore, but native Hoosier and

longtime resident. (West Lafayette, Bloomington, Princes Lakes--which hardly anyone has heard of.) Used to be a constituent of Dan Burton's, although not by my vote <G> Now living in Nevada, which is at least a "battleground" state for 2004.

But I'll be checking in here to keep up with the Indiana scene from time to time. Glad to know Nuvo is still publishing!

[dray178355]

40. South Bend

Home of cars, bars and a few wierdos......and Domers, many, many Domers.

[Indiana_Dem]

41. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

42. Hi dray178355!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[dray178355]

43. Thanks!

I've been lurking around here since the 2000 election. It's great to have a place to post with fellow Hoosiers. Keeping up to date with what's going on in Indiana will be really, really important this year.....and thanks again for the warm welcome.

WE CAN TURN INDIANA BLUE!

[newyawker99]

48. You are welcome dray!

:hi:

[LisaLynne]

73. I'm here in South Bend!

Did you know our Amtrak code is SOB? Appropriate! :)

[agtcovert]

44. Indianapolis here n/t

[Voltaire]

49. Indianapolis

Transplanted from Philadelphia 8 years ago.

[Proud 2B A Peacenik]

57. West Lafayette

Computer Science major at Purdue, plus member of Purdue College Democrats

Any fellow Boilermakers here?

[politicat]

99. Child of one. And will be visiting sometime in the near future.

But not for fun. Dad went to Purdue.

We're headed to the area soon, but not entirely sure when. My great-grandfather's dying; he lives in Greentown, just east of Kokomo (which is where I'm from.) So since we've said good bye, we'll only go back for the funeral, and to settle the estate, which is a mess in and of itself. (What does one do with 1000 acres of mostly organic farmland when the reason it's organic is because the entire family's too cheap to pay for fertilizer when it's coming out of the cow for free?)

I'm in Colorado now.

Pcat

[purduejake]

117. Just graduated!

edit: and am in West Lafayette.

[ElaineinIN]

59. Another for Bloomington!

Glad to see so many hoosiers here!

[AwakeAtLast]

60. Welcome to DU!

From one Hoosier to another!

[newyawker99]

61. Hi ElaineinIN!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[csboesen]

95. Bloomington here!

I am also in B-town!

[LiberalTechie1337]

63. plainfield

just west of indy

[AwakeAtLast]

64. Welcome to DU!

Glad to have ya!

:hi:

[VTHoosierPatriot]

80. I just had to tell you that quote is great.

[shrike]

65. Northern Lake County

[TwoHandedLayup]

66. Fishers,

Republican county. Lots of quiet Democrats here.

[newyawker99]

69. Hi TwoHandedLayup!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Hoosier]

67. south-side Indy

If you get a chance today, greet a co-worker or friend with a 'Cheney'. It's become all the rage among friends.


"G'mornin' Chris. Go fuck yourself?"

"Mornin' Mark! Sure did. You?"



Or use it as a way to end voice-mails.



"...so I'll give you a call from the road --- probably between 3 and 3:30. Fuck yourself."

[jcgadfly]

70. I didn't know there were so many hoosiers here

let alone Bloomingtonians.

This is neat :)

[Tafiti]

71. Representing Lafayette-West Lafayette...

...and graduated from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN.

[thinkingwoman]

72. southern Lawrence County

aka the middle of frickin nowhere.

[Ariana Celeste]

74. Plainfield!!

I just moved out here from WA State last January, so I'm VERY new to Hoosier politics! Unfortunately I can't drive, straight do not have transportation, so I can't get very involved in anything. :(

[AlwaysDemocrat]

75. Bloomington and Indy

My time is split between Bloomington and Indianapolis. Bloomington seems more friendly - more Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers and yard signs. Home in Indy is "Bush" country.

[salin]

76. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

I also split my time between the same two cities. For the longest time I didn't see any Kerry/Edwards signs or stickers in Indy - but have begun to see more and more - in the southeast and east part of Center Township. No illusions, however, that Indy is anything other than overwhelmingly bush. Then again, six years ago, it was unthinkable that a democrat would ever be Mayor of Indianapolis...

[AlwaysDemocrat]

77. Thanks for the welcome!

I just found DU a couple of weeks ago and it keeps me sane. Just wanted to say that I voted absentee today in Marion County so mark up one vote for our side. ;)

[salin]

78. count another hoosier vote

cast (at the clerk's office) - but in Monroe, rather than Marion.

DU - esp the latest breaking news forum - has kept me 'sane' for a while now. Hope it continues to do the same for you.

[newyawker99]

79. Hi AlwaysDemocrat!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Chiyo-chichi]

81. Bloomington.

Election eve. Let's do it, Hoosiers.

[kilaana]

82. Indy!

I'm in Indy where "I see stupid people... they're all around me... and they don't know they're stupid."

It's so nice to find all you sane people on DU!

GO KERRY!

[Indykatie]

83. Indy!!

I'm fortunate that I live in a "blue" neighborhood part of the city.

[aikidoodler]

84. Indiana Census results: Sasquatch outnumber Democrats

Indy east-sider here (though I was raised in the wilderness surrounding New Market, Indiana --a town small enough to have "Welcome to New Market" on both sides of the signpost)

It's great to find that not everyone in this backwards state are Bushbots. I would love to see Indiana go blue, but I don't see this as particularly likely. I'd be shocked to see Kerry get within an eight-point margin.

Edited to add:
...but I would love to be proved wrong.

[hippiechick]

85. Indy

:hi:


:hippie:

[left is right]

86. jeffersonville

have always had a democratic congressman but the early results show * by a big margin

[PsychoDad]

87. Lyons here...

Not far from Terre Haute. :)

Could someone please pm me on who to contact to get involved in the state.

[shesemsmom]

88. Madison here

:kick:

[Patriot Acts]

91. Hey

Im from Madison... been in Bloomington for a while now. Im happy to see so many Du'ers here in Indiana!

[Hoosiergal]

89. Bloomington here too

Proud to be among the three only counties in Indiana to go blue!

[Patriot Acts]

90. Bloomington, IN

Bloomington here... Im on a blue island surrounded by hate! Damn aint that great!

29 attractive with a health body.... any nice liberal girls around here. hehe

[IrishDem74]

92. Greenfield

I think I am one of the only dems in the county... please think happy thoughts for me.

[Metatron]

93. Welcome to DU!

I know of one other D in Greenfield, if that helps :)

[Bzzzz]

115. You are not alone

Parents have been Hancock Dems all their life. Dad has been involved in the local Dem. party since I can remember. I'm no longer in Hancock, but close...Henry (friggin' RED county).:grr:

[Sleepysage]

94. Indianapolis...

I'm an import from Wisconsin, actually, studying law here. My wife is a native, though. Nice ta meecha. ;-)

[American Tragedy]

97. Depends... does Louisville count?

;-) It's almost there. I've occasionally found myself in Indiana by accident. And of course we're exposed to most of your political ads, which I assume goes both ways.

[abluegirl]

98. Another Hautean here

Hey, I'm in Terre Haute too...only 10 miles to a blue state for us!

[DrGonzoLives]

100. Sort of

It's three hours to Chicago...otherwise Illinois is a big ol' red state.

[Gemini Cat]

103. As of late, east central Indiana

:hi:

:dem:

[FtWayneBlue]

104. Fort Wayne

Hi, I am new here. I have been in Fort Wayne for a year, Huntington County Indiana the previous 28. Wish things were different.

[jeffrey_X]

110. Sorry to hear....

I grew up in Warsaw, but now live in Chicago. My sister lives in Ft. Wayne, but I don't go home too often.

[HoosierClarkie]

105. Here in Brownsburg.

:(

[smurfygirl]

106. Clarksville, Indiana checking in.

Right across the dirty Ohio from Louisville, Ky. I frequent the KY boards since I'm originally from Louisville and really don't know many people over here. But two years here and I know who all the dems are. We actually have alot more dems in southern Indiana than I expected. And were growing. So, work on your areas and maybe in 06 we can have a little more success. I'm still pissed about the Baron Hill results. I think he should have won. I worked on his campaign and everyone I spoke with was voting for him. I guess it just wasn't enough.

[demmutti]

107. Indianapolis, reluctantly.

Grew up overseas and somehow ended up here, deciding not to move back out of the country until my kids (who have a couple of years left in high school)are of college age. They want to get out too.

[Khephra]

111. Indianapolis here

118. Northwest Indiana - Chesterton Here

Northwest Part of the state Porter County here. Lucky to be so close to Chicago we have a more democratic outlook here, even if we still have to whack a few conservatives on the head from time to time.
