Many of these people consider my state, Kansas, to be southern and I can promise you that other than some governors and some local people Democrats never win elections in Kansas. I keep telling people that it all stems from the Civil War days and the way slavers tried to force slavery on the territory and too many of Henry Ward Beecher's people were here. Some could learn a lot about that time by reading up on what were known as Beecher's Bibles back then. Boxes and boxes of Bibles seemed to be coming from Ohio, Beecher's home state and turning out to have repeating rifles in them. Maybe some could understand about the massacres that took place in rural areas in the state and even a much larger one by slavers in the city of Lawrence where they attempted to kill all the men. This was because only men could vote back then.
We are a very red state and Obama will never get inside the place because he knows that he won't get any of our whopping 6 electoral votes. He may get some wins in cities where unions are strong but not the whole rural state.
Kansas isn't a southern state. And anyone who considers it to be is an idiot.
Yes, he is a very smart man, and so is Herman Cain. Obama is not a great political mind, he doesn't have a political mind. Also as I have said before most of our greatest people in politics are from the south.
Bizarre post. Not everyone in those "extremely red" states shares the same opinion of Obama to begin with. And "extremely red" is a misnomer. There is no such thing. The partisan issue is better examined from a county-level perspective, and when such an examination happens, the glaring rule is that rural areas tend to vote more conservatively, and urban areas tend to vote more progressively. This is especially true of national elections. Many of those so-called "red" states have had very healthy Democratic parties, and have had Democratic delegations to Congress for decades.
Plenty of teabaggers in one of the most educated places in the country (also called the land of trees, tees, and Ph.D's): Research Triangle Park. Both kinds of teabaggers (Anderson Cooper teabaggers as well as tea partiers) as a matter of fact.
