The Reagan Democrats - not the kind of people who see Obama as a kindred spirit.

Obama has already promised to raise taxes. Voting Democrat this year is economic suicide. I’d like to remind them that our pocketbooks have emptied under a Democrat controlled congress that promised to cut gas prices in some magical way, but have done NOTHING as gas prices doubled.

PA won’t be a problem for Obama: PA will write in Perot - err, Paul -r Hillary to teach the Republicans a “lesson”, which will ensure an Obama victory.

But they went heavily for Hillary Clinton.

"...crucial to Obama and McCain, both of whom can claim Scots-Irish heritage."

FOFLOL!!

Obama “can” claim Scots-Irish heritage, but he has not and likely will not. He is trying to convince African-Americans that he is Black-enough to be embraced by them. When he does discuss his being partially White, it is in jest. Like he is Dick Cheney’s cousin, or his grandmother is a typical white person (afraid of Blacks). etc.

His identity politics leaves him without an identity.

O.K. me and my family come from the deepest, darkest depths of Appalachia. I know the people and I know the culture since they are mine. So I think that I can speak with some authority on the subject.

I'm going to just come out and say it: Appalachians are just not going to vote for a black man, period.

In Southwest Virginia, coal mining country, Hillary took 90% of the vote during the Rat primary. That's overwhelming. My dad, who's a retired coal miner and a life-long New Deal Democrat can't even mention Obama by name---he just refers to him as "THAT," as in I'm not going to vote for "THAT!"

And just because Westy Virginia has traditionally voted Democrat and is the home of "Sheets" Byrd (not coincidental, BTW), does NOT mean that the state will line up behind Obama.

Just my .02 worth of ranting this mroning...

[proudofthesouth]

Though I will vote for McCain only because he is (barely) the lesser of two evils I'm not convinced that elections in this country either on local, state or federal levels aren't rigged.

The patriarch of my family, Devil Anse Hatfield, would roll in his grave if he knew any of his kin voted for a gun-grabber like Obama. I’m sure most of my friends in the McCoy family feel the same way.

[Darnright]

I wouldn’t count on the Webb voters to go lock-step for McCain. I met one last night. He proudly explained he would vote for a black man, then in the next sentence postulated that Clinton left the country in the best economic shape it had ever been in (he obviously never heard the words “dot com bubble”) and then launched into full-bore BDS.

Many democrats are gonna vote democrat no matter who the candidate is. “Mah Daddy wuz a Democrat, his Daddy wuz a Democrat, and I’m a Democrat”.

Gag.

...Obama and McCain, both... can claim Scots-Irish heritage.

Oh, yeah. Obama is very proud of his "typical" Scots-Irish heritage.
