It was difficult when we considered that the task was essentially impossible. To have this payoff is triply sweet.
I wish Indiana could have been called before they made the final calling of the election for Obama, but it is still sweet.

6. I wish I had pictures and names, but some young folks were there every time I dropped in. |

A really tall guy called Hunter, and a lovely young lady named Joy. They gave it all to Obama.
:applause:

Since 1964? That was just before the "60's" became "The Sixties". . or right on the cusp.. Was the switch to Repub due to the Civil Rights Act?

5. Yes, the Civil Rights flip, as predicted by LBJ. |

Race continues to be a big problem. If you check the map of counties that voted for Obama, it gets pretty thin south of Lake Michigan in Indiana.
