Fox News: Clinton Wins in OK and TN
(Excerpt) Read more at FoxNews.com ...
A little surprised...why do you think this is so? Border states to Arkansas?
>> why do you think this is so?
Inbreeding?
Racists!
She won in TN? I can’t believe that.
We were stupid enough to vote her husband in twice. I suppose it’s probably the blue-collar support she’s getting. The sort of guys who vote Democrat and for hillary because that’s what their grandpappies would have done.
When I moved to OK..from CA...I was appalled and surprised at the overt racist attitudes.
And most of OK is registered Dim........
If she wins, I hope she wins fair and square.
“The sort of guys who vote Democrat and for hillary because that’s what their grandpappies would have done.”
The irony.
This result isn’t surprising. I descend from a long line of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama Democrats and your typical Oklahoma Liberal Democrat is most likely to be white and vote white. What the Clintons have attempted in this election against Obama is similar to what J.C. Watts saw in the general election when he was elected to Congress the first time. Oklahoma has a fairly low percentage of black voters and compared to other Southern states Tennessee is fairly low in black voters as well.
I doubt that she won over in Memphis, but her winning in Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville among Democrats doesn’t surprise me.
“overt racist attitudes”
against whom?
Not enough blacks to hand it to Obama. Oh wait, RINO Amy Holmes said on CNN that blacks don’t vote for Obama because of race. Silly me.
“She won in TN? I can’t believe that.”
It might be connected with various polling sites reporting that people were showing up who couldn’t speak any English, were without an ID, and who went by the name “Elvis Presley”. Just kidding!....hmmmmmm
And I think it's taboo to even think that within the Democrat higher levels....
Why the majority of black, brown, red people in this country continue to vote for the Dims...is beyond me.
Will you clarify this? Do you mean racism on the part of white Democrat voters, or black Democrat voters, both, or neither?
Against non-whites.......
As an Oklahoman, I’m embarrassed. I believe McCain won OK too.
Hillary will win the Democratic Primary in TN because she is more conservative than Obama. Also, if you get away from Memphis and Nashville, you still find alot of rural white folks who distrust anyone whose skin isn’t white, especially in Appalachian segments of East TN.
Hadn’t heard that. Last I heard, voters in my area, north central/northwest OK were going for Ron Paul. Now THAT is embarrassing.
