Would you be embarassed by this fact?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I was looking at other apartments available and found there are possibly some cheaper to the west of here. Of course I had to look at the precinct they are in. My precinct is 89% Obama. Well this area is more like 87.5% Obama. This made me suddenly think "ugh, now I don't want to move there."

And yes, even I am embarrassed by that honestly.

Of course my current area is only about 47% white and this area is more like 80% white so maybe that is more impressive...

CD-16 in the Bronx was 95% -- why not move there instead of your embarrassingly Pro-McCain areas?

What was your precinct? I wonder if I have you beat.

Guys this was just a thought that came to me when I saw that quickly. I never stated that I will never move to an 87.5% Obama precinct under any circumstances. I haven't looked at other apartments yet but mostly because I'm busy. If I can find any that might be cheaper I might look into them later even if it's an 87.5% Obama neighborhood. I was merely referring to that thought even popping into your head. People are taking this too seriously.

Though one notable fact is that every move I've ever done is to a stronger Obama precinct except from where my parents lived when I was born which was an 85.28% Obama precinct and then we moved to a 57.38% McCain precinct. Since then I've moved to a 59.44% Obama precinct, then a 65.91% Obama precinct, then a 82.51% Obama precinct and then my current one. Of course I'll admit at this point the trend probably has to stop. There are only 16 stronger precincts for Obama in Minneapolis than my current one out of over 130, and only 2 in St. Paul.

Where do you get your data?

Minnesota Secretary of State's site. It has a great elections division. It can be accessed on this site as well though if you get a paid membership (come on man, it's worth it. Great stuff for New York too. )
