Yes, and if said Democrat were from central Appalachia, I'm sure he'd win it.

This is Obama.  He will not win central Appalachia no matter how much he "should".

there was a candidate named clinton who won central appalachia.  ;ast i checked, he isnt from there.

gore either won it, or came very close to winning it.

hell even dukakis did relatively well there.

and please dont play the race card, which seems to be the default excuse of the obama supporters.

If the shoe fits...

Obama is likely to do worse than the average Democrat in Appalachia, and yes, it is due to race.  Take a look at how well Harold Ford did in eastern Tennessee, for an example.

what democrat does do well in east tennessee?  that goes back to civil war.



Did I say that Democrats do well in eastern Tennessee?  Harold Ford did worse than other recent Democratic candidates for federal office.  He did worse in eastern Tennessee than Clement in 2002 even though Ford came much closer than Clement to actually winning the state.  Why is that?  What was so different about Harold Ford?

ford wasnt the son of a former governor as clement was/is.

And what does this have to do with anything?  Clement being the son of a former governor means he does better than Ford in eastern Tennessee, but not the state overall?  Do you actually believe these things that you type?

That could be interpreted a couple of different ways...
