...or like telling Southerners that "I just want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks"...and then running like hell from that statement when Revund Je$$e and Revund Al cracked the whip...and then telling us Southerners that we need to quit voting about "race, God, guns, and gays"?
