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. Because, it's a fact, that Democrats don't get elected president unless West Virginia votes for you, and --

Almost heaven, Hillary Clinton. Ping to Today show list.

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.

[Morgana]

I am from West Virginia..............PLEASE MAKE HER GO AWAY!!!!

[bannie]

And you, Ms. Clinton, are no John Kennedy.

[bannie]

Great job!!!

snicker!

[doosee]

Yes, you dont need Hillary as you have put up with Senator Pork and Sen TipOffIraqafeller

[Morgana]

Speaking of which.........Should I go ahead and vote for Fred tomorrow? Not like it matters anyway...the race is down to three democrats now.....obama, chelsea’s mama, and mccain.

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.

Hey buddy, it's your turn,,,,suck it up!  LOL 

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Aw, go ahead. Sumpin’ good might come from it ;-)

[Morgana]

Hey! I am not a “buddy” I am a “buddyette” or whatever...

[1035rep]

Can’t watch it

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

[doosee]

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.

[1035rep]

“buddyette” or dudette.
So am I!

[Morgana]

I wish I could do Operation Chaos but I as listed as a Republican and did not think to change to Democrat to do that or else I would do that tomorrow. In West Virginia you have to vote your party in tomorrow’s election, those are the rules.

Hillary in Logan, W.Va. Monday, May 12...

[doosee]

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.

"Aw, go ahead. Sumpin’ good might come from it ;-)"

Sure, and for that reason I am tempted to watch, but everyone knows that purging is not a healthy approach to weight-loss...... /s

The battle cry of the WV Democrat

” I am old therefore you have to give me free stuff! “

[Morgana]

How about this one? J. Fred Muggs!

[Morgana]

[doosee]

In that case, Mr. Ed would gladly settle for VP on the ticket.

[Morgana]

The battle cry of the WV Democrat ” I am old therefore you have to give me free stuff! “ Dude, you are talking about half of the population here!!!

[abishai]

Looks like Invasion of the Brain Snatchers.

[Morgana]

Oh heavens no...they always look like that...they are Democrats...remember?

One of our local morning AM radio female airhead (redundant redundancy alert!) newstwits has the same fake Southern accent and makes me gag, as well. Except she-who-must-not-be-named only puts it on once in a while, not every single stinkin’ morning...
