Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/pennsylvania_democratic_presidential_primary - broken link)

With a week to go until Pennsylvania voters render their final verdict, Hillary Clinton has opened a nine-percentage point lead over Barack Obama in the Keystone State. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Clinton now attracts 50% of the vote while Obama earns 41%.
That’s a slight improvement for Clinton who led by five percentage points a week ago (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/pennsylvania_clinton_48_obama_43 - broken link).

He he. I wouldn't want to bet on whos going to get the nomination.

I share alot of Obama's views. I don't consider myself an elitist or anything like that. But alot of what he said about small town america is true.

Many people are bitter. One can ride around Memphis Tn on any given week day and observe their conversation.

One of the first things that they ask in the mid south is where do you go to church. Its like some social club or in many cases a cultish like institution vs the body of Christ. One can't tell me that the Lord like people making a mockery out of something as sacred as his church. These folks are sick in the head.

Another thing is the gun issue. People do like their guns in small town america. Ask any redneck walking down the street or in the mall.

And yes people are scared of people that don't look or think them. Most small town americans will never admit to the problem or their fears but its true. Just listen to their politics.

I've been an Obama supporter since september of last year. My mind hasn't changed yet.

The droves of people registering to vote is a tell tale sign, people are not only bitter, I would go as far to say people are PO'd with this current administration. Hillary is trying to paint this picture, Oh, people are not bitter, they are strong and want someone to fight for them. Hillary needs to cut the bull and just admit, most Americans are not happy and that is no insult, it's the dam truth. Obama is right, she is just another typical politician that will tell you want you want to hear and not tell you want you need to hear and some people just can't handle this hard truth.
