Here's One State That's Going Red In The General
 

I've been to West Virginia a few times. It has some nice scenery and some very nice people. If I were one of those nice people, I'd be really embarrassed by some of my neighbors who have agreed to be interviewed. As Jon Stewart said on the Daily Show Wednesday, the new rule for West Virginians is that they shouldn't do interviews. All that's to say that if Obama wins the nomination, it's probably best to just chalk West Virginia up to a permanent loss and move on. It's going to take way more than half a year to change perceptions that have gone unchallenged for decades.

Thanks, B.H.!

Excuse my French, but you have GOT to be fucking kidding me? Did this woman just say she's voting for Hillary because she "knows the pledge of allegiance and could probably sing the star spangled banner better than anyone"?! A comment that is only comparable to the idiot saying he's a Muslim even though she agrees that was just a smear tactic! WHAT THE HELL!? This is why I have been ignoring all election coverage… Wake me in November. I will go to the polls to vote but till then, I am too through.

Ahhh, and they were tooo polite to say the word "nigger" in front of the television camera. I hope all of the US gets a chance to view ignorance in action!!

But did you all notice how many people called him "Rock" or "Obamma"?

sweett,

To be honest, I was wondering if that lady even knew what "smear tactic meant". It was obvious she was ignorant! Her friend was trying to help her out with her information by pointing out that BHO is from the US. I also had the feeling some of that was screened b/c they cut from the old lady said she wouldn't vote for a black man when the interviewer asked why.

"smear tactic"

And to think these are the type people Hillary was cozying up to! Initially I didn't agree with BHO not spending more time there but now I guess I can see that might be like banging your head up against a break wall!

It's West Virginia, people. Always keep your expectations low.

Wow. This reminds me of my hometown in Maryland. Amazing that people like this are the constituents everyone is worried about in the general election. If that's the kind of stupidity Obama has to pander to, I feel for him.

I wanted to reach into the screen and smack that woman who said he was a Muslim, and who couldn't come up with a better reason for her dislike of him than, "I just don't agree." With what moroon?!

That's what I get for calling someone a moron. I got so irritated, I didn't spell-check.

the science girl,

Don't feel bad. I always say maroon. It's a holdover from Bugs Bunny cartoons. As in "What a maroon."

I can't tell if they're more dumb or stupid.

Well folks…this is Hillary's "base" that everyone is shouting about! Pretty silly huh?!Things like this are just what make me support Obama even more. Maybe if they see black man doing well in office it can change them…sure it's a long shot but it beats just letting them blindly continue on their ignorant, racist path.

It is painful stuff though to see things like this and be reminded of the work we still have to do

Backstage if he does well then they will really be afraid. They will say that we are taking over the country.

What really bugs me is that Obama is half African. He was born and raised in the USA and was raised by his WHITE mother and her family.
