Showing Original Post only (View all)What is the political climate like where you live? [View all]
I'm not asking about the state where you live but rather the city/town.
I live in Illinois, but I live in the central part of the state. It's like the deep south around here except the accents. They believe everything is Obama's fault. If I were to have a Obama sticker on my car it would get vandalized. Can't really speak out about it or the company I work for would lose business.
So what's it like where you live?
What would happen if President Obama came to your neighborhood?

I tend to think a Clinton or Obama type on average reflects the community though

The area of town where I live is fairly diverse, and lots of younger people
