Democratic Rebirth
July 2nd, 2008 by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
Hamilton County Democratic Chairman Keith Clock reports that a new headquarters will open in downtown Noblesville this month with an open house on July 12th.
So what, you say?
Well, a Democratic headquarters may be commonplace in many counties but Hamilton County is not one of them. There has been no HQ there since the ’80’s (though a Democratic club holds regular meetings.)
Clock cites the 42,000 who voted in the May Democratic primary in Hamilton County as one reason to launch the new facility.
Could Democratic candidates and office holders be far behind?

Obama is reopening their office in Fishers this week too.
Hamilton County had the 5th largest turnout of Dems in the state this past primary. The county is definitely evening out politically.

Good or bad, I do not foresee the turnout to be as explosive in November. During the primary, Indiana was billed as “important” for the Democratic primaries for the first time in….well, a long time. But, in November, all states vote the same day and Indiana will not have any more (or less) importance than ever.
You never know, but time will tell if the county is “evening out politically.” My guess is that, statistically, it won’t be far from 2004.
