Original article: What small-town America is saying about Obama

when did being "intellectual" become a crime?

I'm very troubled by this so-called small town America reaction. Obama is a smart guy. He has a great education and was a respected professor. But he has real-world experience too from the state and U.S. senate. Isn't that what we want after years of having the country run by Cheney since Bush wasn't smart enuogh to do the job? And at least Biden is an experienced, qualified and decent running mate. Let's get back to the issues. Enough about personalities.
