"In Indiana, many voters had not heard of Obama's remarks, which appeared on the front page of the Indianapolis Star. Among those who had, feelings were sometimes mixed.

Tom Hair, an undecided voter who works at a manufacturing plant in Indianapolis that Clinton visited on Saturday, said Obama's remarks about people from small towns were "condescending."

"He seems like he meant what he said," Hair said of Obama.

But he added that he and other workers at Allison Transmission, which makes transmissions for military vehicles, are frustrated by trade deals and the influx of illegal immigrants.

"You have to be realistic about it," Hair said. "There are a lot of angry people."

There are a lot of them in parts of Florida. In the Pinellas/Pasco area I can recall two events in recent history:

1. Young man fires rifle through the the wall of mixed race couple's home.

2. A black lady who had the misfortune of living next to the clubhouse (a trailer) of a white supremacy group had her neck sliced in the middle of the night.
