Reply #7: Your unwillingness to recognize... [View All]

A HUGE portion of the middle of the United States, will do nothing to help the democratic party. I like Obama, you are absolutely correct that he has a lot to offer this party. BUT he is not electable in 2008. Regardless of who he is and what he represents to us, they will see him as a man w/ a name very close to the mastermind of 911. They won't even bother looking at a picture of him, much less researching his record or listening to what he has to say.

I live in a SOLID red state. Believe me, you are very naive' not to recognize this segment of our population. They may not be toothless, but the rest of the description fits. Believe me I live in a neighborhood of approx 700 houses. Approximately 50% of this neighborhood fits the above description to a tee. I neglected to add, tobacco chewing, by the age of 13. They will be toothless by the time they are old enough to vote! And they will vote the way their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and freinds tell them too. I spend every fourth of July and several weeks before and after waiting for the police to arrive and put an end to the gun shots they think sound like firecrackers! Funny thing is this neighborhood is a 20 minute drive from THE most liberal county in my state. Most of these people have never bothered to take a drive down there, because they have been told by their buddies the streets are filled w/ homosexuals making out on park benches. IT IS COMPLETELY LUDICROUS, of course, but nonethe less, if they bother to drive down there it is only to find a "likely" suspect and beat the crap out of him!
