Did I say I didn't like McCain? Geez. You guys are so sensitive to any comment.
My "people" from western PA and the hills of West By God hate Bush. Really hate Bush. The local predominant newspapers hate Bush. The governors are Democrats. The senators are democrats. When it comes to national elections, they always find their blue collar roots and vote that way. What do you think they see in McCain, sans military service, that they are anxious to latch on to? His spending cut promises? That's the last thing they want to hear.
Are you saying on a whole "your people" are incapable of holding a thought independent of the local rags?
Folks in rural regions can and will latch onto JSM not because of his military service {see jimmah carter} but because of his national security vision for our republic {see surge and plan for Iran}
And then there is that issue of energy, JSM wants to drill; and BHO's only problem with high gas prices is that they jumped too quickly.... before the election.
