"Of course, not just that, but why not?" Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November. "After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon," said Watson. "That's what you do." Young served as Detroit's mayor for 20 years and served as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1977 to 1981."
It's all about "bringing home the bacon."
