Kind of a sad topic for my first diary, but here it is...
This morning, I received an e-mail notifying me that one of our Democratic offices in Southwest Michigan had been vandalized.

Now, for a bit of background. The South (Berrien)County Democratic Club is headquartered in Buchanan, Michigan. Deep in Fred Upton (MI-06/Mr. FCC) territory. Deep in one of the traditionally reddest counties in Michigan. The South County Club started from scratch in 2004 and has been both a meeting and organizing place for local Dems and progressives and a thorn in the side of local "R's" ever since.
And now, this.
Ironically enough, these racists/kooks/KKK wanna-bees not only have to live with Barack Obama as their President, but also with the knowledge that their county turned BLUE. Change has come to Southwest Michigan:
Recent Presidential vote totals (Berrien County, MI):
2000 Bush 35,689
Gore 28,152
2004 Bush 41,076
Kerry 32,864
2008 McBush 36,128
Obama 40,376
Better luck next time, morans!
