Comments on Why Racists Should Vote Obama

Can you drive over to Highland, IN, and get me a Miner-Dunn burger with some of that Obama money?

Drive? If I had a car, Indiana is a place I go to only to get through to Michigan.

Now, now...

Anyone who asks you to go to Indiana is NOT you friend!

Perhaps Steinberg listens to NPR.

HEY!!! Enough Hoosier bashing! We're awfully friendly, bake great pies and can squeeze your sorghum.

The invite to obtain tickets to the rally was sent out the other day... I'm still undecided about what to do, since there's also an election night party I want to attend. If there is not going to be TV coverage of the returns at the event (or if it's raining/snowing), that will make me less likely to want to go. But... History! Craziness! Potential riots!

Email me: humoringcolleen@yahoo.com. If you're inside the security zone, and have a cell phone, I'd like to use you as a source. I won't be getting a ticket.

Maybe Illinois can build an Indiana bypass bridge to Michigan? Perhaps a tunnel?

I used to live in Chicago, and there were lots of Indiana jokes--also jokes about anyone who lives south of I-80 (Springfield really does seem to be in another state). But my favorite Indiana joke was "every time you cross the border into Indiana from ANY OTHER STATE, your I.Q. goes down two points--and it NEVER GOES BACK UP".

Peace, Hoosiers--I am from Ohio, live in Columbus now, and my father is from West Virginia--so I'm used to abuse...

Hey C. Fan,
Thanks for being there to blog it! Awesome. Wish I could be there. Things are going to be exciting there that night...
(hope hope hope)

The Indiana state slogan is something like "The Crossroads of America". They actually encourage you to keep on goin'. (Not that I ever needed any)

according to NPR last night a number of WSG are actually making these arguments themselves, seriously

The "Democrats will riot!" scare-story is a Republican talking point.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Chicago Fan,

What are election night plans? The only one I heard of is in Wrigleyville area, the one WCPT is promoting. Are there any other election night parties?

@15 - nice!

I can smell Gary,Indiana from my house.

@16

You got me. I hate election parties, or have since 2000 anyway. I plan to roam the streets, see what's up.

@16. There are a bunch of events listed here.

Stop reminding me. There's two things I dislike about Obama. 1. His FISA vote. 2. He's from Chicago.

My dad actually is a (selective) racist and is voting for Obama.
