Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania

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?

    bitter is angry is fed up is tired is pointless

    Degeneration into name calling seems to part of the human condition, apparently, whosever side you appear to be on.

    Neither clinon or obama are perfect. but the issues that matter to all of us: health care, providing for our families, security and the freedom to worship -- or not worship - as we please, and say what we want to say, seems to actually matter to both these candidates, whether one tells a whopper about sniper fire, or the other chooses to vote present on politically touchy issues. God, guns and attitude aside, what i'd truly like to see is some unity -- not because of them or their surrogates -- but for our own sakes.

    i prefer hillary, but i will vote for obama. i'd like someone sane on the other side to vow to do the same.
