Nov 2012

Indiana preachers stoke the social issue fire every sunday. Anti-gay rights is still a huge issue with church-goers. But abortion is the biggie. Ronald Reagan is still God here. A weak democratic party + The influence of the Baptist, Catholic, Church Of God, and the Assmbly of God is just too much to turn the state blue. And with the election of the utra-rightwinger, Mike Pence, as governor we are in for more of the same. But the state is slowly shedding itself of the KKK image - a good sign.
