"Yoohoo, uneducated whites in Texas don't want Obama because he's black! Finally some good news!"

If they can get excited over this, the Hill People must really be desperate. Just like with their fearless leader, it's about winning at any cost.

1. Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with education...

It's more about attitude and moral character. Even the educated can be racist.

[whatchamacallit]

2. Sure, but I still can't see this as something to be happy about. n/t

[zanne]

6. No, of course not.

But I think that calling conservatives uneducated only eggs them on.

3. Or as Ed Shultz said

"I don't know of a whole lot of white men in Texas with Hillary bumper stickers on thier pickup trucks"

7. They're hidden by the giant rubber testicles! nt

14. Well, I don't have a pickup truck, but I do have an SUV

You hate those too, right?

4. i woudl have to guess

That anyone stupid enough to let race dictate voting is also stupid enough to allow gender the effect.

5. Who cares? No Democat has a chance in hell in Texas in GE

[zanne]

9. I suppose that's true. nt

15. Hey "Don't Mess with TEXAS"

Texas is ready to wake up from this nightmare.

But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

8. I don't get the point of this....sorry. Do you have a link for this?

I live in the "Hill Country" and I know of no organized predjudice against blacks....from educated or uneducated people. To be truthful, I find this comment offensive.

10. My issue wasn't so much the information, but the glee.

11. Thanks for your answer; it helps a little. I wouldn't count Texas out

for Obama in the primary or for the Democrats in the general election. Texas may return to it's Democratic status; I'm hoping this is the year!

12. I have a hard time believing that the racists are not also sexist

on some level, and would probably not vote for either.

13. Obama needs to put on a mask and appear on professional wrestling ...

maybe that will help the rednecks warm up to him.
