This county has not voted Democratic for president since before the Civil War, yet I see that John Kerry polled better there than any Democrat in over 100 years--at 42.4%. FDR and LBJ dod not carry it. But the Democratic percentages have been creeping up tic by tic every 4 years for the last 30 years.
What's happening? Are liberal Chicagoians moving into the county and slowly changing its politics?
are getting better organized all the time. They meet with us in as part of a five-county organization. I think they have elected some Democratic county board members. We only have ONE Democrat on our county board. I was pissed that we could not get more people to run here.
There has been a population explosion in Boone County, too. Check with their county organization to see how things are going, and what you can do to help.
