This is one of the most bigoted comments I have ever read on this forum.

There's a lot of good, hard-working people out here in Montana, and I am one of them. Almost everyone I know is for Obama, he had a HUGE turn-out for his rally when he was here with Hillary last month (they appeared together for a Democratic fundraiser, then had their separate rallies) and she attracted a decent sized crowd also to her rally. We're about 98.9% white out here, and are definitely not a welfare state.

Let's see, I haven't seen a single McCain bumper sticker around yet, and this is cowboy country...

Karl Rove was in town, though. A huge crowd of about 100 showed up to get some of that great Republican inspiration - there were more people than that outside on the sidewalk PROTESTING his visit here. Our local news media was not allowed into his fundraiser - he brought his own crew from FOX news, they were the only ones allowed in - I'm not making this up.

Okay.....this is ridiculous. She won WV by 41 points and Howard Wolfson and Terry McAuliffe (sp) were all over the networks spinning on how that was a great win which would send a strong message to SD's perhaps even freeze them. Results..........Obama picks up over 27 SD's since that loss. What in the world is going on in Hillaryland? What's next here? No presidential candidate has ever won the election w/o winning PR.

Hillary is probably at this moment telling Kentucky that they are the state that will turn the elections. THEY are the pivotal state and how she has always felt that Kentucky was her home. That the people of Kentucky have always voted for the next President and that she once lived there and understands their pain.

And she's doing it all with that southern accent that comes and goes in relation to whatever state she happens to be campaigning in.

Even Kentucky wants to keep their paycheck from the tax man named Nobama.

Clinton by 30%? 40%?
So are you saying minorities aren't hard-working?

LOL! Maybe she will wear a stetson to match her Fuscia pants suit and arrive in a Surrey with a fringe on top, as she chews "backy"
