Obama is dividing the party and country
Nope. Small towners Obama was talking about don't "cling" to religion and guns. They like church and they like their guns.
They like Democratic economic policy too even if they think Democrats are atheists who want to take their guns.
Election time comes and they have to make a choice about what they like the most.
Elitists like Obama come along and tell them they don't really "like" religion and guns, they're just reacting irrationally to the poor economy and clinging to those parts of their culture because they're stupid and ain't got enough booklearnin' to think straight.
That tips the scales, and their decision becomes easier. They like their church, their guns, and not being insulted by some empty suit politician better than they like health care reform.
