Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma Take me home, country roads—"Take Me Home," John Denver

Them thar Wellesley girls is so country. Kinda like good ol' "can I git me a huntin' license here" John Kerry, nothing makes Hillary Clinton feel more at comfortable than to find herself among country folks. Thus it was entirely natural, and not at all a cynical campaign ploy, for Hillary to slip into some country vernacular when addressing a Mountain State gathering.

Check out the video, aired on this evening's Hardball, of Hillary addressing a West Virginia gathering today. There was something of a Southern cast to Hillary's accent throughout, but it hit a high note with her "sumpin'."

It's really telling ya a lot about history to point out that it was West Virginia that made it possible for John Kennedy to become president. Now, John Kennedy didn't have the number of delegates he needed, when he went to the convention in 1960, but he had sumpin' equally as important: he had West Virginia behind him.

I’m surprised she isn’t driving around(if she knows how) West(by God)VA in a 76 dodge truck with a gun in the rear window.

Can’t watch it — the spectacle of Shrillary trying to pretend she connects “with the folks” is simply too nauseating.

When she tried that horribly fake southern accent awhile back I just about tossed my dinner all over the table.

No thanks, I am happier when I tune out from the Hildebeast.

Neither can I.  It took me weeks to get that voice out of my head last time.  Never again!

I gave money to Fred a week before he dropped out. I kind of like Operation Chaos. Give Hillary a big edge so the DEms are even more confused with their Buyers Remorse on Obama.

Personally, I would like to see Mr. Ed (the talking horse for you youngsters out there) nominated. He had more common sense than the 3 candidates remaining.
