16. Me too

Unfortunately, since the 1990's the Democratic Party bench and apparatus here has shrunk over the years and Republicans still dominate with super majorities. I'm not sure how we pulled off going for Obama (once in 2008) but I'm sure that the Republicans have been working hard to make sure something that like THAT never happens again. Plus, the Republicans in the Legislature love to pick on and try to control Indianapolis/Marion County since it tends to be more progressive and Democratic-controlled. We have some other progressive pockets though, like Lake County (Northern Indiana), Monroe County (Bloomington). But then we have large affluent (i.e. Republican) areas like Hamilton County (Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville) and a lot of outlaying Red rural areas.
