Yep - I know right where you are talking about. Mason (where I grew up) is in Warren County - was and still is conservative for the most part. My parents are still living there. I live in southern IN now - near Louisville- which leans to the left.
Think that is why I have enjoyed living in Texas and now in Oklahoma -- most people I meet are conservative and our paper, The Oklahoman, is conservative and not afraid to admit to that fact. My Mom cannot believe how our local media leans right after listening to the leftist back there.
