Etc etc etc? I have. Trust me ignorant racist morons are far from a southern phenomena.

I believe there is a sizable base in Appalachia that could care less about Rev. Wright, Obama's economic plan, or his position on the war-- they're simply not going to even consider voting for a person of color.

finally. a lucid post. Yes I'm from Baltimore, and have visited all over the NE..
good points Curator., yet somehow WV is stygmatized.

Kentuckey and West Virginia voters who're going for Hillary went for Jr. TWICE. That right there tells me Hillary's just a right winger in donkey's clothing.

It has become very obvious to me that she places value on some very different things than I do. People call her a fighter but all I see is a braggart who lies about her own valor, someone whose mouth writes checks that someone else will have to cash, someone who never misses an opportunity to pander, someone who is afraid of getting caught on the wrong side of public opinion. She claims to have "experience" but with all that experience she still got the Iraq war vote wrong and followed it up with an almost identically wrong vote on Iran. All that "experience" didn't teach her that world leaders shouldn't go around threatening to "obliterate" other countries. Sorry but if that is what comes from experience, I will pass and go for the person who may be lacking somewhat in "experience" but has the courage and wisdom to answer the question right the first time, even if it comes at 3:AM.

Someone should educate those fools. Since I support America, not a candidate, I can curse out as many morons as I want. Suck it, idiots.

Every propaganda half-truth Hillary camp insinuates against Obama should be met with the other half of the truth.

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

What you can do for your country is stop being stupid. Be a good voter.

Birds of a feather---you and cheapseats should be in 100% agreement!

And there are a million reasons for almost anyone with human genes to seem elitist to you! Hell for you a TBI bedconfined person would seem elitist!

It is all about how far up you have to look---is it not?

Quoting Curator: "We do not need to pander to the most ignorant, racist people in America." Indeed!

Quoting myself.

Bob Herbert just said on MSNBC that Hillary's West Virginia slogan
"Send them a message" was actually used by George Wallace.

Wonder when she'll let slip her dislike for bussing [Reagan chapter of "Southern Strategy" in 1980].
