I have been to Minneapolis, but I am not that familiar. Isn't the north side where most of the crimes, drugs, and gangs are located?

And Democrats.

I am confused I didn’t think that the Amish drank alcoholic beverages?

I Googled "North Minneapolis" and this is a image that came up. The caption was: "North Minneapolis Foreclosures."

Mmmmmm, Mmmmmmm, Mmmmmmm!

I guess nobody got a pic of Heinekin Man from N.O there did they?

Obama voters ... 97%.

[Parmenio]

It might be a bit low. I’d say 98% Obama at least.

Ha. I just remembered something. On Philadelphia local news television during the Presidential election of 2008, they were reporting various communities and the results. I don't know if it was a mistake or what it was, but the new commentator said something like: "And Camden NJ, with 120% of the vote in, is currently leaning heavily towards Senator Obama...."
