The first fresh poll results from Pennsylvania are in since Barack Obama's "bitter" comments about people in small towns exploded as a news story, and the findings could hardly be worse for the Democratic presidential contender.

Whaddya know, Barry, there are other Pennsylvanians other than those in Pittsburgh and Philly.

[teddyballgame]

Yeah, that’s a shame. I feel terrible for this elitist snob.

Splat...kaboom....he’s giving it away to the lady who rides the broom...

Well, you know how them religious gun-owning, xenophobes are about being pointed out to the NYT...

[goldstategop]

Schadenfreude! What goes around comes around. As Obama is discovering, his sneering condescension of small town America is baggage that is weight down his once high flying campaign. It couldn't happening to a more deserving guy.

ROFL!

[Mr. Lucky]

What, you mean those unsuccessful, bitter, stupid, gun owning religious fanatics?

[kingattax]

"say it ain't so !"

[pogo101]

They’re just bitter at being called bitter, gun-hugging, racist Jesus freaks. We elites have come to expect this of such hick troglodytes.

“The new poll by American Research Group — conducted Friday, Saturday and Sunday — gave Clinton 57% and Obama 37% (based on interviews with 600 Democrats, the survey has an error margin of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points). The 20-point margin is all the more dramatic because, just the week before, an ARG poll found the pair in a flat-out tie in Pennsylvania, each with 45%.”

[Biblebelter]

it appeared many Pennsylvania Democrats began to turn against Obama because they are simply sick and tired of seeing and hearing his ads.

Good news they found a antidote for Clinton fatigue, Barry Obama fatigue!

I have shifted back and forth in this election. I am so incredibly uncomfortable with Obama that I think I feel more strongly that he not get to the White House than I feel even the Clintons. I did not think that emotion was possible, but this guy is simply a danger to our nation. I think McCain could take him due to his extreme views, but he is a very talented candidate, and I think I would rather not risk it. He is a shrewd and vicious campaigner, and I think he could be effective despite all his weaknesses. With the media in the tank for Obama, he may be able to pull the wool over enough peoples’ eyes to eek out a victory.

I'm tellin’ ya, between Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s own mouth, the 527’s are going to have a field day!

[Dr. Ursus]

He’s losing voters by the hour in Philly.(by gun shot)

[Obadiah]

...I did not think that emotion was possible, but this guy is simply a danger to our nation.

I hear ya.

[Brilliant]

Looks like Hillary’s effort to paint herself as a “gun-loving church goer” are working.

I was just talking about him when I went to the gun range right after Church last Sunday...

Republicans need to ignore Rush and vote for Obama. He would lose 40+ states in November.
