  • Its really sad to see the amount of people who still stood behind Murdoch in this county. Would you feel the same if it happened to your daughter, sister, or wife?

  • Depressing, isn't it?

    Just shows that too many people mindlessly vote straight Republican on any and all elections.

  • The Republican party is completely out of touch with a growing majority of Americans who wish not to discriminate against minorities, immigrants, homosexuals, women, poor, or any human. Until they can wrap their brain around basic human rights, they have no place in the White House. Sad to see Putnam County and Indiana even more out of touch with this growing majority. Thank you America!

  • Doesn't anybody have results for the judge retention questions on the ballot?
