That went SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT for Obama

Yeah, Berkshire County in MA

Yeah Berkshire Brigades

Yeah, MOST LIBERAL COUNTY IN MA!

Yeah, for decriminalizing an ounce or less possession of pot!

Yeah, for ALWAYS doing what is right!

1. Another Berkshireite
Living here does give an unusual perspective on the world.

Amazing how had it is to find Goppers around here -- at least the wingnut variety.

Plus Cong. Olver, who is dull as a mule, but just as stubborn as a progressive Democrat in Congress.

We also produce some good state reps too.

5. Yeah! The map is really green for marijuana and even more for income tax.
1 town voting for Beatty (Boxford).

Way too many enclaves supporting McCain, though. What's wrong with these folks?
