Barack Obama’s Problem with Dem Voters
It seems as though Barack’s problem with rural and sometimes blue-collar voters isn’t going away. McClatchy has an interesting article up on the subject with some great lines from Dem voters who say they will never, ever vote for Obama in a general election:
Lou Meyer, a housewife in Sellersburg, had similar thoughts. “He won’t wear a flag pin. Anyone who can’t stand up for their country, I won’t vote for,” she said. “If it’s Obama versus McCain, I’m between a rock and a hard place, but I’m not going to vote for Obama.”
…
Dennis Whetsell, a Brownsburg accountant, voiced other concerns: “Obama doesn’t have experience. McCain could work much better with Congress.”
…
“I’d like to get the troops home as quickly as we can,” said Whetsell, “but we also can’t allow the area to fall into the hands of Iran or Syria.” McCain, he said, understands all the nuances.
…
AND they like McCain!
“He’s honest. He’s not afraid to look you in the eye and tell you what he thinks,” said Cheryl Pauley, a Brownsburg housewife. “Obama is a yes man.”
Awesome news!
And some facts to back it all up:
The Pew poll showed that 23 percent of self-described conservative and moderate Democrats say they’d vote for McCain over Obama in November. If Clinton’s the nominee, that number drops to 14 percent.

Is Hillary wearing a flag lapel these days?…does McCain usually? No, didn’t think so. I guess when they don’t wear one that means that they are unpatriotic. How ridiculous indeed. Makes me sad when someone even poses a thought like that cause it shows a lot about them.
Also,I have a good feeling that a whole lot more than 14% of us Democrats won’t be voting for her .In addition, you forgot to mention how hated she is by the Republicans. She will bring out voters alright (in mass) just to vote against her.
