Butte County went blue?!

1. They must have got the vote out at Chico State.

Still... that's amazing. :party:

[cboy4]

3. Yea no doubt. My fucking county went McCain, 55-44 percent

Fuck Placer, this goddam red hellhole :puke:

Even Sacramento County went blue big time 59-40 percent Obama :party:

4. You really ought to move into town.

The commute's got to be a bitch, and people are just generally nicer here. Plus you're way less likely to get run over by some bored suburbanite in an SUV who is too busy rescheduling her tanning appointment to notice you.

5. I should and I plan to .. if nothing for the commute.

:banghead:

11. My community, east of Sacramento has too many bigots

against GLBT people, but I'm stuck here because I take care of my mother who has Alzheimer's. Eventually, I hope to go back to Monterey where I moved from a year and a half ago.

10. Yeah, your county and El Dorado County

Both are close enough to Sacramento County to have blue county interests and to be more sophisticated, but also very rural still.

[ocd liberal]

2. Good for them indeed!

I am a former resident of Butte County - lived in Chico as a teen and early 20s 1977 - 1988, my father still lives there and spouts right wing talking points at me and I take it very personally.

6. There was bigtime organization there

Unlike some parts of the state. :eyes:

[Peace Patriot]

7. Yeah, I noticed that blue spot on the map of the usually red rural counties in the

northeast of upper California. I was wondering how that happened. XemaSab, you say it was the students? Tell us more!

[MaryBear]

8. Incredible!

Woo hoo!

9. I was amazed until I realized Chico was in Butte Co.

But I guess this is still a nice turn of events---got bluer?

12. Butte going blue ...speaks for itself.
