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?

    Mon Oncle

    ____I supported Kerry and still like him. You forgot to mention his failings:

    1.Didn't attack the swiftboaters

    2.Lacked charimsa and speaking abilities

    3.Let his opponents define him_____

    I agree with you on 1 and 3. But I must protest vehemently on number 2. Bush was far more number 2, and I mean a dufus and a bumbler, than Kerry. Kerry spoke in perfect sentences and made sense. Bush just fumbled through. What Kerry lost to was an extremely well oiled and well financed right wing and should he have responded to the swiftboat fast and furious, he would have been elected.

    Obama is now surging because he is not taking HIllary's dirty tricks lying down. He is responding fast and furious.
