Yet, his voting record squares perfectly with Pelosi and Obama. The ad doesn't mention he's a democrat or that he's an incumbent. He does that for deception, since he knows his voting record sucks.
As to Hoosiers and being smart, some are, some aren't. I have two friends who are very smart people who voted for Obama. They have since changed their minds. However, what about the people in Lake County? A good number of them who voted in the 2008 election were dead at the time...they probably weren't up on current events, either. Even worse, a number of these dead people voted TWICE.
Not to mention every high school student in Gary was bussed down to the Govt center in Crown Point and registered to vote by Rudy Clay and Dear Leader after his visit to Gary prior to the May 2008 primary. That accounts for 5K of the 20K loss in the state.
