There’s a great article in the Washington Post which my Uncle Bill sent to me. It’s not long, but you get the idea pretty quickly. If you’ve been wondering why Obama took a hit last night in PA, this sums it up. Why? Because in-between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the state is filled with terrifically ignorant, misinformed, and just plain dumb racists.
Every time Laura and I drive home, which takes us right through the heart of the state, we see it. It’s frankly a bit scary in some of those areas. The sad part is that a large number of deeply stupid people will affect the outcome of this race. If two terms of Bush didn’t make sense before, they should now.
