We are talking a similitude to the Balkans and Caucasian mountain region. The whites don't even like each other, poles versus irish versus germans versus slavic versus "po'white" southerners on an and. And that area like over at minimum 95 % white and ethnic divided whites at that, provincial insular guarded enclaves and bingo you have a Bigots Stew. In the Coal town in Pennsylvania my wife grew up in there was a Catholic School for ONLY Germans and a Catholic school for ONLY irish(my wife is Irish) Now i am a strong supporter of a movement in Human cellular Biologic science to destroying the term race completely, except for the Human Race, species Homo-Sapien The LOL! is whites have to face they are ONLY environmentally adapted mutations of the black african, the original human. When one studies the mitochondria of man across the world it alls tracks back to that area of Kenya. In truth there are NO races, and their are biologic anthropologist wanting to destroy the term races as it has no scientific reality, and say, as the mitochondia reveals we all are but one race that originated in the are now known as Kenya. That means EVERYBODY without exception traces back to mid eastern Africa. But this leads back to the hard reality, of those 12.5 million Pennsylvanians, at least 6 million live in these insular bigoted enclaves, and they are at least 95% white, and afro-americans/hispanics are alien intruders them and i would say it is safe to conjecture as many as 3 million are racist enough they can't vote for not white.Hell tere are probably 2 million that couldn't vote for Italian, as he is tawney colored, oft. So does this make it impossible for Obama to win Pennsylvania, No. He can win if he gets a huge turn out in Philadelphia area/southeastern Pennsyvania. But it would need run over 80% i believe to overcome the rest of the state. i will state, the area i described is as generally the most bigoted to other ethic groups, and to those of color especially as in any other large area in the U.S.A. i freely admit i never say i come from Pennsylvania, i say i come from the Philadelphis area. i was actually born in america's first hospital, the Pennsylvania Hospital at 800 Spruce Street ,Philadelphia.Max p.S. The irony of ironies is the U.S. volunteer military is largely urban blacks and hispanics, and rural/milltown/coaltown/ whites.
