Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?

    like d'oh!

    People really need to learn to read between the lines and beyond the hype. In this case, good job Salon and Mike Madden.

    When the "controversy" jumped from the salivating mouths of the mainstream media I knew it was baloney and I didn't think any regular working stiff (sighted in the article) would think it's offensive.

    Honest people answer with honest answers and understand straightforward talk...unless you push their hot buttons (a standard issue GOP trick). People like guns and religion and when the going gets tough, they grab both. Like duh.

    Barrack Obama will emerge from this because non-media individuals will understand it was poorly worded honest at worse.

    Frankly if this is all McCain and Hillary have on Obama, he'll do fine. In comparo -- McCain has Keating S&L, crazy "red button" temper nut job and warhawk written all over him...oh yeah, and he's a GOP.
