Indiana was Harrison's home state for the same reason Texas is Bush's home state

Quote from: Thomas Jefferson on March 02, 2014, 02:03:39 PM
But Benjamin Harrison was an elected senator from Indiana, therefore, Indiana is his home state.

He was born in Ohio. Therefore Ohio is home.  Remember Cleveland did win Indiana at least once if not twice in his three runs. Yes I know he was appointed as a senator by our statehouse but I go by birthplace.


So?

Probably vote straight GOP since 1856.

You do realize that the GOP and the Democrats have completely switched on most issues since this time?

That's a cute myth liberals like to tell themselves so that they can forget that Democrats championed racism for 130 years.
So is the Republican party still the party of activist government, labor rights, conservation, and business regulation?

Decided to do this again. For 1789-1894, I'm imaging myself as an electoral candidate. Given 1898 was the first year with universal white male suffrage in NY, I'm imaging myself as a New York voter. For the first four elections, I'll be making two votes, for president and vice president.
