I know a lot of Freepers are probably Southerners and Midwesterners, so they may assume that Northeasterners are all a bunch of crazy liberals who will go giddy for Obama, but I assure you, they won’t. I grew up in a Northern ethnic Catholic family in a neighborhood filled with Italians and Poles. They all voted for John Kerry in 2004 because he was their kind of Democrat. He was a veteran, a Catholic, went to Mass, his last name sounded Irish, and he had a Pat Buchanan foreign policy. That’s who these folks are. But Barack Obama is anathema to them. He’s effete. He’s a snob. He’s over-educated. He’s your typical latte liberal. I’m telling you, Northeastern Italians and Poles and Irish folks won’t vote for Obama the way they voted for Kerry. You will see lots of Northeastern states in play, especially since McCain is more of a moderate and more acceptable to those voters.

Do you think that the Ancient Order of Hibernians will endorse McCain? Lots of police and firemen are in that organization.

It’s almost like your making the case that McCain is the real Democrat in the race. So, in fact, this is an election with no Republican choice.

BHO’s church has a NON-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA and has a lot of Muslim members...this is only a small part of why BHO will never be elected...the DhimmiRats are in the process of diving right over the cliff. The illogical Reds for BHO just can’t keep that Socialistic shitte stew bubbling for any longer!
