Does anyone really think Hillary Clinton can secure the rural white vote? You've got to be kidding..

Let's get real people

.

up north - didn't even take Long Island. Lost virtually all of white, rural NY.


She took the urban centers. IOW, Obama's demographic.

That's REAL crossover appeal.

:P

congrats

Have you ever actually been out here in the sticks?

Klamath County, Oregon

Repugs: 17,000
Dems: 10,000

total population: 65,000(Klamath Falls: 45,000)

Primary results:

Clinton: 52.03%

Obama: 44.33%

McCain: 84.44%

Paul: 11.99%

Aside from the city of Klamath Falls, the county is full of really tiny towns and lots of farmers/ranchers. Lots of forests, both state and federal. This IS rural America.

no matter which one of them runs. That's the point. Unless some people start pulling their heads out and recognize that they're being left behind because they're running a 1950 economy in a 2010 world.

one of those red counties on your map....the deer outnumber the cows which outnumber the people. And no, I am not an idiot.

Just like I'd fit right in and speak from great authority at a Tamil cultural preservation meeting.

My county will go Obama in November, but most of those around me will go mccain, just as they went bush. Part of the state is blue and part of it is red, Chicago makes the state blue, and I think them for it. Just the way it is. I had people in 2004 argue for bush because he use to be an alcoholic. Why was that a reason to vote for the man; they felt sorry for him, like it made his life hard. they would come to tears when they talked about it. I can just imagine some preacher standing up telling his parishioners just how hard this man had to fight his addiction, and how that made him the man to vote for. I hate to say it but some people in this country do not think for themselves and the rest of us pay for it.
