[Amerigo Vespucci]

With Norah O'Donnell on the MSNBC live feed (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22887506#22887506).

1. If racists show up, he means.

[FUCK_BUSH]

31. If Fascist and racist rednecks shows up . i fixed it .

[cags]

2. Well, lucky for us not too many rural americans are watching TV

[Jennicut]

3. Urban America is showing up way more than rural America is

[AllieB]

16. That's exactly what I said below.

:-)

More voters live in urban areas than small towns.

[apnu]

21. Well thanks to our messed up EV system, Rural America's votes count more than urban America

The voter to EV ratio says it all.

[Thrill]

4. He's an idiot. One of the dumbest people in the Senate

He doesn't have a brain. Embarrassment to NC

[yardwork]

5. Shut up, Burr. We can't wait to throw you out next.

[FVZA_Colonel]

6. I am so fucking sick of being treated like a Lesser American because I live in a city.

[TwilightGardener]

7. LOL! Not enough of them. Besides, this rural-America gal voted for Obama--not all of them

will be for McStupid.

[kwolf68]

8. Keep dividing us

I live in Fauquier County, a county that is huge and has lots of farms and wineries...While I'd guess I see more McCain signs, it's not by a significant amount.

[maddezmom]

9. he also is parroting the line from the campaign camp that Black voters will only show a 1% increase

in voting this year, from 20 to 21%.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. Yes...he basically said "The Obama campaign spent a lot of money, BUT..."

I was getting that Sarah Palin "This is the REAL America" vibe from him.

[RedLetterRev]

10. As usual, Buzz gets it wrong

we did. We Baracked the Vote early.

What a dumbass. Two more years of that treasonous idiot and he's history, too. I can't wait. I wonder if Biddy Dole's broom has a spare seat to take him with when we pack her wrinkled, sagging old ass off today.

[budkin]

11. You mean these people??

[AllieB]

12. I hate to break it to Richard Burr: more voters live in urban areas.

The bigger cities in the more populous states have more electoral votes too. And many Democrats live in small towns also. They are not a monolith.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

13. Like voters in this rural area...

from somewhere between Hanging Rock and Greensboro (don't remember the town name!):

[Lifelong Protester]

14. RURAL HERE= AN OBAMA WIN!!!!

but nice try (NOT)

[WinkyDink]

17. And is Nora giddy at the prospect?

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I'm a rural american and no way did I vote for McPalin

[bunnies]

19. Yeah. That worked real well for McLame at midnight in NH.

:rofl: It doesnt get much more rural than that!

[political_Dem]

20. Btw, when will he engage in a duel?

:sarcasm:

[colonel odis]

22. would those be the rural voters who've been boned up the ass by the bush administration?

factories closed, jobs shipped overseas, school funds cut, job training funds cut, sending their young to fight in a crazy war cause there's no work at home anymore?

is he talking about THOSE rural americans?

[Bucky]

23. Did he say "rural" or does it just sound like "rural" when he says "real America"?

[mmonk]

24. Burr's a little nervous. He's watching as Kay Hagan hands Liddy Dole

those ruby red slippers so she can click her heels and go back home to Kansas.

[tledford]

25. I'm in NC and I can tell you that ...

...Richard Burr is a Republican-party-line Republican through and through. I will say this much for him, though; in the last five years, I've emailed both Burr and Dole (and my congressman, Brad Miller, but he's a Democrat and I just include him out of courtesy <g>) five times. In Burr's case, I have *each time* received a snail mail response within ten days or so. I never agree with him, or he with me, but at least his office responds. Emailing Liddy Dole has been emailing a black hole. Never even an acknowledgment, not even an automatic one, much less a response.

We're kicking her out today, though (welcome, Senator Kay Hagan, from right here in Greensboro), and we'll kick Senator Burr out in 2010.

[RedLetterRev]

30. Hello, neighbor!

I get those IRRITATING boilerplate snailmails back (courtesy of RovePress Inc) that never have anything useful in them. For Dole's first four years and Burr's first two, the second paragraph always started out "As you know, since 9/11.." blah blah friggindyblah for another page and a half that could have been summed up with "I really don't give a damn what my constitutents think. As a Prince of the Nation, I intend to line my pocket by doing as I damnwell please (by rubberstamping whatever neoKKKon nonsense crosses my desk)."

Meh. He's gone in two years. I intend to remain a thorn in his arse every day of it, as I have for the past four of his term.

Biddy Dole has answered (e)mails. She hasn't been terribly pleased with me, either. I'm pretty sure I'm on some sort of list. I'm polite, but very, very, very pointed. Pubbies hate facts. Oh, those pesky facts, getting in the way of neoKKKon agenda. If you're going to spy on us, Biddy, we're going to watch you like a hawk, sister. Now get back up on that broom and het your wrinkled arse back to Kansas or wherever it is you swooped in from.

[paparush]

26. Burr and Dole in the Senate has been nauseating for this NC native.

Here's hoping Dole gets beat today.
Burr..you're next!

[trueblue2007]

27. This REPUKE commentator is delusional....or he is a LIAR

the people in the CITIES where the majority of the population determine elections. Not little towns with 208 population. What a moron.

[Borgnine]

28. I'm technically rural (or voted in a rural location), and I voted for Obama.

Sorry Dick.

[Frosty1]

29. I'm Rural - Obama Franken

:hi:

[ladyVet]

32. Dear Richard Burr:

You are next.

Signed,

Rural voter for Obama.

[taterguy]

33. If rural America is so great then why doesn't Burr live and work there?

Perhaps he prefers the quality of life in the city where he lives, even though it's a smallish city.

[knowledgeispwr]

34. Keep talkin', Burr...

We're throwing YOUR ASS out next after Liddy,

NC Voter.
