The REAL question that seems to have been missed in all the bitterness

[NJmaverick]

WHY do the small town folks refuse to back Obama. The small town PA folk, certainly are well below average in their support for Barak Obama. This despite the intense campaigning and the flood of TV adds. Wasn't it the governor of their state that talked about those same people refusing to vote a black man as President? Could it be that when Obama answered the question of why he couldn't get small town PA support, he was actually being quite generous to those people? Food for thought

1. Obama is as White as he is Black.

Why do you suppose that doesn't matter?

2. I am betting those small town PAers

believe in the one drop contaminates theory

3. ...I think he addressed it in context; conservative politicians promise them the world and ship the

4. Who says they don't support him?

Sounds more like wishful thinking on The Clinton's behalf.

We'll find out soon enough. The Unions sure seem to detest Hillary.

5. Bitter against government? Or some of the people running government.

Who would trade this government for another around the world? Bitter against government when these same people look to government to in so many ways...SS, Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies, welfare, legal aid, and now housing bailouts. Obama sounds like a true Republican pitting the people against their government. The very government that he wants to run. It's more of the hate America first meme. I can just hear the Repukes using this all throughout the GE. It's not HRC that is to blame for this. It's just more fodder for the Rethugs to use. Just as Obama supporters have jumped on every little word out of the mouths of the Clintons, some are doing it to him now. I hope he sees how ridiculous it all is.

7. I would trade it for a high mileage Honda.

Never got a nickel from that you speak of in 45 years.

Paid tens of thousands into it, but, short of being protected from Saddam's nukes...

6. Small town folk,

as you call them, don't support anybody for unitary executive.

Why would we?

Bill Clinton sold us out and everything has been off the table since then.

Yes, we gotta vote for them, for some unknown reason. But it's beginning to elude me as to why.

Edit: new keyboard and old spelling inadequacies.
