voted for democrats during the FDR years.. but has been struggling ever since.
im afraid its going to take a pretty conservative democrat to get it back for the party these days...
which is sad.. given that democrats in the district out number republicans.. even still after redistricting in the state (tho the numbers are WAY closer than they used to be... it was 52%-40% in our favor until the new lines... now its 47%-42% in our favor)....
