RNC Flustered By Barack Obama’s Appeal in Kentucky

[ariesgem]

Barack Obama visited Kentucky recently and wooed some Republican voters. The Republican National Committee stated:

“The more time Barack Obama spends in Kentucky touting his liberal proposals to raise taxes for working families and choke off funding for our troops, the more likely voters in this state will re-elect a Republican president in 2008,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson said in a statement.

Yet some Republican voters had a different reaction:

“I’ve been in Washington long enough to know that Washington needs to change,” Obama said, before easing his remarks back to his main theme of unity.

“I’m humble enough to know I can’t do it by myself. I’ve got to have you with me,” he said. That was a compelling statement, said Alice Dehner, 61, of Lexington. Dehner, who once worked for Republican President Richard Nixon’s campaign, came into last night’s event curious and uncommitted. She said she left impressed. “He ended up providing more substance than I thought he would,” she said.

2. Get ready for the "Barack, call me" commercials

I really hope that Obama is more prepared for the racist attacks than Harold Ford was. You know they're coming.
