Comments on: Rasmussen: McCain Ahead By 6 In Ohio http://donklephant.com/2008/07/25/rasmussen-mccain-ahead-by-6-in-ohio/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

Appalacia is filled with it. As Jim Webb oncce said these people see all the hand-outs given to blacks such as affirmative action and they have become bitter towards them. Senator Webb also says they have much in common with them and if they ever joined forces they would control the elections in this country. I believe that what is also at work here is that many disgruntled Hillary supporters are trying to affect the nomination process by claiming to be for MCain when polled in the hope of a last ditch effort to get their candidate the nomination. You can see this played out when the two third party candidates are added to the poll. Almost all their support comes from McCain. I would hope that this would sort itself out after the nomination is finalized and a VP is chosen. With that being said I belive this poll is an outlier. I think the true situation in Ohio is a toss-up and that Obama needs to campaign hard there. My daughter is a journalist in Southern Ohio and states that yes there is racism in Ohio.

Has anybody been to Ohio? I don't think it's wrong to point out that racism is playing a part in this race. Some folks are even willing to admit it. (Not sure where I just read some quotes). Ohio isn't exactly Kentucky, but it's damn close in some parts. Racism. Has anybody been to Ohio? I don’t think it’s wrong to point out that racism is playing a part in this race.
