    @nananance - tired and lame .

    I live in a small town and the people here who won't vote for Obama because he is an African-American would never have voted for a Democrat in the general election.

    Nonsense. From Oklahoma to Indiana to New York and Texas, small town America RUSHED and RACED out to meet the Clintons during the primary.

    Don't you dare blame them for your stupidity.
