One word describes Obama's hillbilly problem - arrogance. Even those who want to give him the benefit of the doubt while knowing full well that he has no qualifications, is shallow, and of no substance, they surely can't get past his arrogance. Hopefully all of Hillary's supporters will stay home or vote for Nader and the party will implode. Then and only then will there be a chance of re-building the party in the likeness of a real democratic party - one that has its foundation in concern for working people and not the latte drinking, arrogant, youthful, naive, and highly educated folks who continue to blindly support him.

by definition--

I was born and raised in western KY. My family was one of the original settlers of Hickman county who came from SC. I've lived the rest of my life in southern IL.

I've got news for you people. These folks aren't voting for Hillary in the general either. They may vote for in the primary against Obama, but they're not stupid. Despite her most recent incarnation, folks around here know Hillary Clinton isn't one of them.

They just hate Obama more.

So Clinton would lose KY by 5 points while Obama would lose by 20. But in a winner take all election, it all amounts to the same thing. The general election will come down to who's electoral map provides the best path to 270.

The nomination process has given us a good look at which campaign has been most competent when it comes to exploiting the electoral maps.

Neocon fascist troll. from your trailer, anyone who can speak in complex sentences is arrogant. Lincoln was arrogant. So was Jefferson. FDR. You drooling fool, you have no idea what the post-civil rights era Democratic Party might be. You're a Ray-gun republikan. Go join your fellow klansmen and practice goosestepping. Vote McLame. Then, you'll find out for the second time in a year what it is to be a loser- as if looking in the mirror were not reminder enough. love, jeff

Good point, in fact "American Experience" on PBS is rebroadcasting their "Presidents" series. The FDR one was just on, which I hadn't seen, very poignant and informative. Talk about an elitist! But he broke ranks with his class and fought to make the American government take care of its own. The NeonaziKKKons have been batshit ever since, trying to unravel the blessed New Deal. In fact Bush's econ professor (from wherever he legacied at) remembered him as a horribly ignorant person who was absolutely adamant FDR was a "socialist." Nazi ties run deep. The puppetmasters need their puppets, DimBuld, Shawn the con, HateTex, are all willing dupes. One can hope that they fall into the dustbin of ugly history along with their brethren the Brownshirts.

Meanwhile, I'll vote for the so-called "elitist" in the mold of FDR (but without the blue blood and massive inherited wealth).

This is a test.

Why don't you try entitling an article about why them "ghetto thugs" and "elitist winesippers" don't like Hillary?

So, explain this to me again? When ALL the Blacks vote for the Black guy, that's o.k. But when MOST of the Whites vote for the White Gal, it's racism? North Carolina=Good. West Virginia=No good RACIST Bastards? This is why this empty suited idiot, this 60's wannabe, will NEVER be President. People don't like being called this crap all the time. There's gonna be a BACKLASH against this little game that Obamas' camp is playing. You mark my words. People don't like it, and they WILL respond at the ballot box.

There is. I just knew that when Axelrod and the turdblossom ran into SC with the racecard so Obama could win it and started braying about "racial divides" in America - the last thing on EARTH America wanted to hear when gas is 4 dollars a gallon and there's no jobs worth a damn .. I just knew the turdblossom's "help" had framed dumb-ass axelrod into a cornered losing position.

They made their campaign all about race, not white "hillbillies", not Hillary, nobody but themselves .The turdblossom set them up like babies.

Then I knew the lefty-lefts and their black panther style demagogues would start hooting and hollaring Obama lost the election on racism instead of his campaigning ineptitude and the fact that he's simply too inexperienced and is a demonstrated Muslim appeaser whatever he claims aside.

The fact is America is angry at black and liberal hypocrisy. Obama is "winning" the nomination on skewed leftwing caucuses and racist black voters and there is gonna be a backlash, that my God, I can only hope and pray will shut these inept, miserable, bigotted lefty-lefts up forever.

The reason these votes count is because they are the ones that show up at the polls. First 240 Million people are not going to vote. Sixty million might. It is those votes you want to win.

The fact the hillbillies are called rednecks, toothless,and shoeless is racist much the same as hillbillies making fun of the crack heads, rapist, and robberies that are in the ghettos of the major population center.

It is all about econimics and about those that care enough to show up to make their voices heard. This is not a popularity contest. We have our countries future at stack.

Oregon was not a big win for Obama. Once again he could not close the deal when everyone thought it was over. The more race becomes an issue, the harder it will be to win in November.

You can not win the white house with out the white vote. It is what it is. It's about economics, not race. Stick to the issues.
