This is good news, but does anybody find it funny that you have Barack Obama, who is probably the most hated Democrat in the south since LBJ, and then you have Hillary Clinton, a member of the antichrist's cabinet who is polling very well down here? Do southerners really think Hillary will be a totally different Democrat than Obama?
But her skin color is different than Obama's.
Also she's not a Muslim.
Obama isn't muslim, or socialist, or anything else either. The only reason he is called those things is because racists refuse to admit they're racist.
You're preaching to the choir. But trust somebody who lives in Georgia- there are many, many people who are convinced he is a Muslim. Not that is should matter what his religion is anyway....
And I just want to clear something up once and for all- not every Obama hater in the south hates him solely because of his race. People who don't live in the south seem to think that this is the only hangup people have. More than anything, they hate him because he is a DEMOCRAT. The same people who have foamed at the mouth over Obama were just as hostile towards John Kerry and most other leading Dems since Clinton. In fact, Kerry performed just as badly with white Georgians as did Obama, give or take a few points. These people have been conditioned to believe that pretty much every Democrat is godless, socialist, elitist and a hypocrite. Obama just happens to fit the caricature very well. And it's even worse because Obama is the first Democratic president who didn't even bother to pander to the bubba vote, unlike Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy etc, so they feel totally detached from him.
Yes, I have heard people say that they "can't vote for a black person" but most of them were never going to vote for a Dem in the first place. It's more of a cultural division than anything else, and the sooner people look beyond the racial element, the sooner Democrats can make a comeback around here. Nobody will vote for you after you call them a racist.
