I'm very proud of the land of my ancestors and extended family!

Especially considering how many times my mom has mentioned the phrase "roll over in their graves" or "they would have died" about my grandparents and this election...she briefly considered maybe Indiana had changed since she moved, but I reminded her the BBC had referred to it as an "Evangelical bastion".

My grandmother and aunt were dead before Obama was elected but my grandfather held on for 14 months of Obama presidency before dying.

I wasn't surprised that Indiana went for Bernie.
Not completely sure why, but I wasn't. :p
I am glad he's putting up a good fight, but I am not happy at all that he's calling for a contested convention. I think it's going to hand the election to the Repubs. :o
Hugs, Jon

I am feeling very warm and fuzzy about Indiana right now.

if Hillary weren't so hated, I would agree with you but she is very hated by a LOT of people. The majority of states where Bernie's winning are states with open primaries where his votes are Democrats AND Independents AND EVEN...Republicans!

How is Hillary supposed to win those over?

And it's not like those people are that inclined to vote for Trump either, Hillary vs. Trump would probably result in the lowest turnout ever and/or HIGH third party voting rates.

I use to love politics so much, but the way things have been run for the past few years has just sickened me. :(
And I don't see it improving any time soon. :(

Oh, that's wonderful news. Between the USA election and UK's EU referendum I'm feeling very nervous about politics at the moment.

If you don't like something, the best way is to change it yourself.

The Referendum hasn't happened yet, right?

That's why I keep voting. :)
