America is a scary, dark, superstitious land. Irrational and anti-intellectual. At least, enough Americans fit that bill. Very sad. The MSM long ago lost their integrity, their noble purpose and now just spin whatever the corporate overlords dictate. Sigh. I'd move to Canada if I weren't so poor and in debt. Basically I now live in a feudal land where I'm indebted for life to the great financial institutions. Blah blah blah. Nothing to be done. It's all hopeless really. This November election will be just like the last four years ago. The day after the election will find a lot of really quiet Democrats and Progressives in utter disbelief that it's happened again.

This election and the last one were handed to the Democrats, yet they always seem to find a way to screw it up. I'm sorry, but that is America. We have shown that over and over. Uneducated and voting based on perceptions and not facts. I'm looking to move overseas myself. That is how much I don't like what has been happening, and what I am sure will happen in this election. Unless of course we get to convention with no majority, the delegates get freed to vote their conscience, and suddenly we have Edwards, if not Kucinich running. That would renew my faith at least. Other than that, please travel around this country before supposing you know what the U.S. is about. It's a scary, dark, superstitious land. It’s too bad that you don’t see what will happen.

They'd be insane to vote for the continuation of the policies that are bankrupting this country. I think in the end the working class will vote Democratic.

What they, in their empty headed way, never bother to look at is where Obama is having trouble and why. He has won alot of very white states with some very independent and tough people like in the west. And the midwest farmers. But, the blog kos has a look at the appalachian belt. Democrats are older and in another era senses. They are wary of Obama because of what happened to the region going super fringe gop since. The racial thing of the 60s really hurt there and now they are afraid obama could set the democrats back in that region. He is not having problems with old farmers in the midwest, not much in the south and seems to be very popular in red states in the west where republicans appreciate him. It's that belt of the mountains and the history and old racism. But, the younger generation there doesn't know that time and sees skin color differently. However, Clinton's problems with african americans is nationwide. But, the press, that use to like Obama having a brain and some cool and jazz now see it as bad. They have decided it is wrong to be smart and be cool. It is elitist and no working democrat will vote for him. Only latte elitists (though not too many of those in Iowa or the Dakotas or even in Illinois). So 90s. daily kos has an excellent indepth look at the working class whites that the pundits are discussing and trying to move their latest stoyline about.
