Obama doesn't sound like white people do?
Excuse me?
It's amazing to me how Hillary, a person I respected, and Bill, a person I basically revered, have gotten to the point where I'm wondering if they are flat out racists. And their supporters are backing them up.
What a strange turn of events. Why doesn't someone just count blacks at 3/5ths like we used to, that would clear HIllary's problems right up.
Or if the Deomcratic party just did things like the Republicans do, Hillary would've won by now!
LOL! She actually said that. Is she joining Holy Joe at McCain's side in the fall?
but you can't appeal to Appalachia, Foundry, New England, Deep South and Mountain West equally.
He does extremely well in the Midwest, and much better than hillary west of the Mississippi.
He does less well in Appalachia, and that's because of personality/cultural differences.
It's not because of cultural/personality issues. It's because there is a much larger racist population in Appalachia. I used to do a lot of business travel recruiting doctors to rural West Virginia and Kentucky. I was utterly appalled at how openly racist people were. Clients would flat out tell me they wanted "all American" candidates. When I asked what that meant, I was told, "no foreigners, no blacks and no funny names". It was completely pathetic.
look at webb's family. he married an Asian woman, and she's family (and many other appalachian families look like that)
There are people who are kinda hostile to people who won't fit in -- and may not want to take the time to have to learn how to deal with someone new.
Yeah, some people there are racist. that's not everyone, by a long shot, and to obscure some of the cultural differences is to miss something.
