I've been convinced that if the truth of Obama's statements, policy and beliefs got to everyone, he'd win every state by big margins..the problem is, as we've seen, the email smears that get 15% of Americans believing he's a Muslim, the faux outrage about his not wearing a flag pin, the faux outrage that he didn't salute the flag when it was actually the national anthem but it was his peers wrongly saluting instead of singing, etc, etc.... I don't blame people who are too busy working and surviving who depend on others to be truthful who instead are distorting....

Hi Sioux, it's not the big cities, rather it's the rural communities where Obama support is thin. In the big cities like Philadelphia, where education levels are higher, Obama gets alot of support. Among the uneducated white people, they think he's a Muslim terrorist who hates America, because that's what Hillary, Rush, and Fox News tell them. So they don't vote for him. So what this really boils down to is education. If you are ignorant, you vote for idiots and bad leaders. If you are educated, then you make better choices. At this point, if Michael had not been banned, I'm sure he'd be telling me that I just lost Obama the election for telling the truth. ;)
