"Ordinary Pennsylvania Resident" in Clinton ad not actually from Pennsylvania

Hillary's Appeal - The Diva Theory
Lately I've been bouncing the idea off of friends that at least some of Hillary's appeal - at least with some middle aged women and homosexual men - has to do with what I call her "Diva Appeal." Now, before...more »

So what's McCain's idea, then? Prayer? A rain dance?

Not yet...but let me give it a try:
The people of West Virginia won't vote for Barack Obama because, like the creatures in "The Hills Have Eyes," their inbred eyes see right through Obama's chocolate-hued skin and therefore they don't believe he actually exists, in which case they believe he is a demon sent on a mission from Satan to burn down their cock-fighting arenas.

It's more about education than racism. The people there think he's a Muslim or that he's going to take all their guns or that going to give all black people jobs in the government. Conspiracy theories take root in those who are just not well educated, who are poor, and who feel like life and those that are more powerful (government) are always conspiring against them.

What is Obama doing!!?!
Didn't he get Hillary's POWERPOINT presentation this morning?!
Clearly she's the favorite of literally TENS of representatives who quite strongly believe that Hillary may be a more formidable opponent in November! Or at least, you know, publicly they say that!
Ignore her at your own peril, Barack!

Who is going to lose in the fall? Pretty much every democrat that runs for office is going to win in November. The Republican Party is slowly imploding, and it's going to get worse. Obama will win, Senators will win, Reps will win, Governors will win. Quit your hand-wringing. You can't bring Clinton back, we must press on together and with confidence.

In Indiana, a state that Clinton should have won easily based on demographics, Obama lost by 1%. Maybe he would have won without the Limbaugh voters. Either the way, the point is that Obama exceeded expectations and not even the marching army of Operation Chaos could stop him.
The primary is over, Obama has won, now let's go kick McCain's butt in November.
And let's not be too hard on the wingnuts - meddling in this election is the most fun they're going to have for the next 8 years or so, as their party continues to dismantle and break apart at the seams.

It's Lanny Davis logic. If the polls say she's ahead, she should be the nominee.
