15. I'm from MN too. In the purple island of Moorhead. All my news is from North Dakota.

I go with my mother to her medical appointments. She is in a nursing home.
The nursing home has a van or they pay a van company to transport us.

Every van driver has Rush on the radio.

Mom's nursing home has cable TV. Among the channels they carry CNN and FOX. No MSNBC.

Forget about going to any church during election season.

My sister's church minister preaches politics from the pulpit.
My sister had to stop going to church during election season. Think she started going again now.

Guest ministers visit Mom's nursing home to preach, and preach politics from the pulpit.
I stopped going with Mom to church service at the nursing home.
Mom tells me she goes to church service in the morning, on weekdays.

I don't enjoy talking politics much around here.
Always run into a brainwashed religious zealot with total faith in the "fair and balanced" news.
Also run into lots of religious people with very strong convictions about homosexuality.

Haven't figured out how ND voted Heidi Heitkamp in. At least she has a (D) after her name.

I say Moorhead is purple. Think Moorhead's purple because of the colleges.
Lots of Democratic signs near the college campuses.
Lots of Republican signs other places.
