It’s Terre Haute, once home to Eugene V. Debs & the Socialist Worker’s Party. It is also the home the of the Bayh and Hulman families. Terre Haute city has been solid democrat because of it’s industrial base and labor unions. It’s also considered somewhat part of “southern Indiana,” which resembles Kentucky in topography and genetics. Unlike much of Kentucky, many southern Hoosiers still lean democrat. But as with most midwest cities, the industry has gone away, and so the politics of the county at large have drifted back towards the Republicans.

If Romney can carry Vigo County, it would be significant.
