The very thing Wolfgang posted was similar to what the Governor of Pennsylvania said and got in hot water for. Sadly thouhg it is the truth.

Here in the heartland you can bet your ass that Obama will have a tough time in November. There are still some folks who won't tolerate a black prez and others here won't have a woman. But of the two a woman comes out ahead every time. Racism is still alive and well although its insidious and often well hidden. A woman will always fare better at this point in time.

Obama can do it here but he's going to have to overcome much history with Rev. Wright and get back on track as a "healing non-politician." Tough row to hoe........This is the unstated backing for the Clinton challenge when they say she can carry the "big states."   Everyone is going to have to bring this issue out from the depths and see what the Dems can do.
