Et tu Tippecanoe???

[Seancass]

Polls showing Tippecanoe county went 56% obama. I know purdue is there and they're all crazy liberals, but come on. Da region, purdue and IU where almost the only portions to go obama. I am a little ashamed, honestly to have to return to tippecanoe county tomorrow.

As of this moment, with 92% precincts counted, Obama is ahead in the former conservative state of Indiana.

Don't blame all of us. Some of us had sense in our heads and conservatism in our votes.

There is a glimmer of hope.

Last night during my physics I lecture, some discussion of voting and the inevitable outcome of the election ensued. Someone with a laptop let us know that Obama was projected as the winner.

Then one of the students mentioned that everyone had better go ahead and get their gun permit [sic]. That when about half the class piped-in with how they either already have their lifetime License to Carry, or will renew to it as soon as they can.

Most of my students did not vote for Obama. I take some level of solace in that. They will be an integral part of the future.

I wish I had an option about going into Tippecanoe County - the river is in my backyard, why can't that be enough?? :P

I don't remember the last time I set foot in a college classroom, and I don't miss it any..

As far as that comment is concerned..

Back on topic(ish) - Rhino, are you affiliated with Purdue in West Lafayette?? Your picture, at least as presented, looks familiar to me..

No, sir. I am not affiliated with Purdue in any way. I teach at a much smaller institution across the river.

Maybe you saw me at a match or something?

Interesting

Tippecanoe, Monroe, a few border counties, and 'Da Region also went Dem but without Marion County he probably doesn't carry the state. I don't care to do all the math but he won big in Marion County. Should be no surprise.

I just found out this little snippet of information. Vigo County has been a "bellweather" for the nation. Since 1892, as Vigo County goes, so goes the nation, with only two exceptions (1908 and 1952). The Vigoids must know something the rest of us don't know.
