I grew up in Berrien County....

Me, too (Niles). The southern part of the county turned blue a few years ago. BTW, is Upton in trouble? Last weekend my dad talked to a guy at church who used to work for Upton in Washington. The guy said the election this year is actually going to be close. I never really liked RINO Freddie that much (I campaigned for Dale Sugars a few years back, a real conservative), but it would be a shame to lose the district.

Overall, the district is still very republican as a whole. St Joseph area is very Republican. The areas around New Buffalo and to the north, however, have been flooded by Chicagoans who like the shore towns. They bring their crap lefty politics with them. Also, a lot of homosexual communities over by the lake, too.

I voted early in Miami. It was a mixed crowd. I did have one African American military guy behind me complaining on his cell phone that he was dissapointed not to see the "young people" out "representing Obama".

I voted this Saturday and waited 4 hours. There was a young kid who explained he was doing "community service" hours and telling everyone to vote Democrat while handing out Dem flyers. I heard him say he has a record and can't vote. Many prayers!

I grew up in Stevensville. Haven’t been back since 1979, but I recall a lot of conservative people there. Although, I was just a kid, lol.
