Methinks the hate is from the African Americans. They might be the real racists.
I live in Minneapolis. Judging from the Obama signs about, Obama will carry all of our precincts and handily. So be it. We have a RINO ex-governor, Arnold Carlson, who yesterday endorsed Obama.
Last week we drove to a Navy reunion in Philadelphia. My wife is obtaining a masters degree (on line) from Clarion in western Pennsylvania. She wanted to see the campus, so we stopped there for a day. Much of the housing around the campus is student housing. I did see one or two Obama signs. I also saw a McCain sign...or two. I was truly shocked regarding how few Obama signs I saw for the fact that we were quite near a well known University.
There is zip scientific about this...kind of like Zogby or the Minnesota Poll (Mpls Star and Tribune). It's anecdotal, but I found it interesting.
