45. Elizabeth Dole is not from around here.

She lived in Washington for a long time and than decides to come down here.

[leyton]

48. Yeah, but we elected her...

*sigh* And I think she was born in Salisbury, no?

[citizen snips]

52. She was from Salisbury.

But remember she did not win by a big margin.

[mmonk]

[Padraig18]

4. Illinois.

'Blue state' DU-er here! :hi:

[aldian159]

6. what part, Padraig18?

What part of the state do you live in?

[Padraig18]

7. I live east of Decatur.

I'm in Douglas County. :)

[aldian159]

9. Beautiful country out there

unfortunately, I don't stray into Cardinals Country- anything south of Peoria is Cardinals Country.

I live 12 blocks south of Wrigley in Lincoln Park, one of Chicago's many neighborhoods.

[Padraig18]

10. Well, we lived not far away from you, until we moved out to Oak Lawn.

I moved down here 2 1/2 years ago, to attend school.:)

[LandOLincoln]

42. Cool. I'm from Champaign, but I've lived in Albuquerque for 12

years and L.A. for 21 before that.

I really miss the Midwest this time of year. NM springs are all about wind and dust. :-(

[nemo137]

16. Winnebago Co., IL DUer here.

[Padraig18]

[King of New Orleans]

12. Let's not be hasty

It could be Clinton or Burlington, or even Keokuk.

[Padraig18]

14. True.

I just said the 1st 3 that popped into my head. :)

[TN al]

15. Tennessee

or is that being redundant. And I'm not from here I just happen to live here at the moment your poll didn't make it quite clear.

[Kathleen04]

17. California n/t

[Joanne98]

18. I'm an ex-patriot from CA

Now in Zanesville OH. God I miss the ocean.;(

[asthmaticeog]

28. Zanesville? Yikes?

How'd you end up there from CA? Here in Cleveland, lots of my friends are trying to get TO where it's warmer, so it's often startling to see a "from."

[MrSlayer]

19. South Philly.

[Voltaire]

23. Indianapolis, Indiana

Born and raised in West Philly though!!!!

[NightNurse]

59. Go to Doobies on 04/24/04,then!

22. Maryland - Kerry is taking MD for sure! n/t

[Dhalgren]

24. Alabama! Yeeehaw! I think, is the expression.

.

[goodhue]

25. kick

Its a weird categorization that separates MN from IA.
I live in the mid-west. In Minneapolis. Never heard of North-Central. More precisely I live in the upper mid-west, which includes MN, WI, IA and the Dakotas. The broader mid-west includes NE, KS, MO, IL, IN, and MI. In MN we think Ohio is the east coast. But otherwise an interesting poll.

[asthmaticeog]

29. Huh

It strikes me as a weird categorization that puts Ohio on the east coast - we should BE so lucky! It's a 9-10 hour drive to Boston or NYC from Cleveland.

[no name no slogan]

61. Yeah that seems wierd to me, too (native MNer)

I've lived a good part of my life in the southern part of Minnesota (Rochester, and also near Mankato), which is a part of the state that could be Iowa for all practical purposes: we get our TV and radio from Mason City if we don't have cable.

Agreed about OH-- that's way out east, isn't it? I mean, you guys are right next to Pennsylvania, which is practically New York or New Jersey, right?

:hi:

[VOX]

26. West Coast -- CA.

:kick:

[jsw_81]

27. Washington

[Mz Pip]

30. California!

MzPip

[Zynx]

32. Wisconsin!

Woot!

[rasputin1952]

33. WOW...who'd have thought the majority so far...

would be from the Midwest!

There's hope for the country yet, if there are Progressives in the Heartland...LOL, I'm in NE and thought I was the only one!

WooHoo!

:bounce:

[katieforeman]

35. Mayby it's just that progressives in the Midwest need to get

online to find someone who agrees with them.

On a less pessimistic note, I was born and raised in OH and I think things are changing there. Midwesterners are starting to get turned off by the exterme idealogues in power, their fiscal irresponsibility, their heavy handed tactics, and their habit of forcing their Christian Fundamentalist beliefs on the rest of us. These Republicans just aren't very nice and they aren't very honest, and that doesn't play well in the Midwest.

[Padraig18]

39. It doesn't 'play in Peoria', for sure.

The RW theocracy is turning LOTS of moderate Republicans off in IL, which is one reason we Democrats are becoming the majority party in this state...

[katieforeman]

41. I've heard similar stories in OH.

My mom told me one of her friends who had always voted Republican and came from a Republican family said she and her husband will never vote for a Republicna again. She's heard other stories like this from friends of friends etc.

[katieforeman]

34. no DC?

Where are we from or where do we live? I still consider myself a buckeye, but am currently residing in DC.

[tptgrl]
