LBJ and Hoover were born and raised at these places, at least for part of their youth.
If you're just born somewhere and immediately left, it won't matter unless that place is verysmall and obscure.

Correction: LBJ was actually raised in neighboring Blanco County.

The Johnson name is gold in both counties
The county town of Blanco is called Johnson City, so I guess that dates back to before LBJ. Smiley

Johnson City is named after an ancester of LBJ's... pretty much the only way a Democrat can win in that part of Texas is to have the surname "Johnson".
Thank God that's a common surname! Smiley

I was born and raised in the same city, however I didn't actually live in that city until I was about 9. I doubt I would get much of a boost there, considering that it's Bismarck, North Dakota.

Prior to living there, I live in solid Dem Ft. Yates, although that's due to it being located on the Sioux Indiana Reservation, so I'd win there easily anyway.

Why did you live there? Tell me more! Smiley
