Comments like this one, offered by Jack the Sailor, explain why there is a limited possibility for serious discussions about elections here at Mudcat:
>It disturbs me that much of Hillary's support has been in Bush strongholds. I think that a >lot of her support in Ohio, Texas and now Pennsylvania is from Republican mischief >makers.<<
I think making comments like the above are a much more clear and present reason.
A silly open ended attack with no basis in logic.
I made that statement because it is what I believe. One friend of mine told me that his dad in Ohio did vote for Clinton, because Rush suggested it, to prolong the race and keep Hillary at Obama's throat.
I really find it odd that country boys in Texas and Ohio hillbillies are voting for Hillary Clinton. In Pennsylvania Obama's support is concentrated near Philly and the college towns, which consistently vote Democrat. Hillary's areas voted for Bush. I know a lot of people who support Bush. I know a few who are Hillary fans. I see NO OVERLAP at all. Yet areas where Bush gets 70-80% of the voted are giving similar percentages to Hillary. I'm not saying that all the votes she is getting in these areas are mischief votes, but I fear that a lot of them are.
