Predict AR & KY

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

To say that there aren't "cultural differences" that influenced Obama's performance in Appalachia and the rest of the upper South... you really have to be delusional.

Not to defend Bandit here... because suggest Obama has a chance in KY is ... yeah...

But the fact that a) this is an uncontested primary with no consequences b) turnout is VERY low c) Obama has always been a bad cultural fit (on quite a few fronts) with this area and it's not that surprising...d ) combine all of that you end up with only the really hardcore pro and con coming out... the big whack in the middle who don't really care stayed home.

It's silly to try to spin it too positively, equally, it's silly to make this out to more than it is.
