Jami Colich loves everything about New Castle, her home in western Pennsylvania. The fact her kids go to school with the children of her former classmates. The ability to text the principal or superintendent whenever she likes. The familiar faces. The easy rhythm.
Colich has lived her entire 37 years in this town of 20,000, save for a brief time in Texas. She hated the cookie-cutter housing developments and pancake-flat landscape of the Houston area.

WNU Editor: The L.A. Times uses a mother living in a Republican stronghold as an example of a "shy" Biden supporter. I do not think she is shy. She is openly saying who she is going to vote for in one of the largest newspaper publications in the U.S.. But are there "hidden and shy" Biden supporters out there? All of my American friends who are going to vote for Biden are not hiding who they are going to vote for. But they live predominantly in Blue cities and states. I have two friends who live in Florida and in a predominantly "Red part" of the state. They are going to vote for Biden, and they are keeping to themselves on who they are going to vote for. But they are the exception. I have other friends who live in "Red cities and States and who are going to vote for Biden. They are very open on who they are supporting, and are not worried on any blowback against them. So bottom line .... my friends are telling me that there really is no hidden and shy Biden vote out there. At least no one has made the case that there is one out there.
