Ojai is Obama country

...says the VC Star, in an article this morning from Tony Biasotti titled Close look at the numbers reveals local voting trends. An excerpt:

For the most part, the county's voting patterns were consistent. McCain finished first among Republicans in every city and in most unincorporated areas, except for a few in the east county. In the Democratic primary, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton finished first in every city except for Ojai, and every unincorporated area except for those in the Ojai Valley.

Sen. Barack Obama's strong showing in Ojai can be explained in a single word: demographics.

Also from the article:


"If there's anything to the spirit of Ojai that might explain this difference, it might be that this community is less geared to tradition and tried-and-true formulas and predictability than it is to — to take the title of Obama's book — The Audacity Of Hope,'" he said. "Ojai has always had a passion for the inspirational and Obama is more inspirational than Hillary Clinton."

Exactly.

I went to Washington a couple of years ago - thought it would be fun to see the House of Representatives- democracy in action. To my surprise, I walked into a Masoleum. The Men all looked resurrected - they were so dull, running on automatic. Obama is the first one I've seen, in awhile, that actually has some light shinning through and doesn't have to be held up with safety pins.
