Given that Lake Conty Indiana went 70% for Obama it's a safer bet these folks were Democrats than not.....
That's right down the street form me, literally. Pabst is right, Lake County put Obama over the top in Indiana, but Schererville is about 99% white. All that is irrelevant to the story. If you lived in N.W. IN. you'd be a drunk too. :eek: The place has went to hell.
