"Now is there a hidden factor in there? I don’t know. I don’t know the reason why, but Obama does not do well when he is closing. Hillary Clinton, as you know, beat him by 10 or 9 percent in Pennsylvania and about the same amount in Ohio and then by 41 in West Virginia and 35 in Kentucky. I think part of that is the Scots-Irish and those folks out there who don’t cotton to Obama not simply because of reasons of race, but class. He really is not one of them. I think Colin Powell would do far better, for example."

If the writer means Obama having no-class-----that is correct. The people in these areas are genteel people.

And, yes they like their guns and some carry their Bibles to Church------they understand the meanings of The Sermon On The Mount that Obama mocked.

And, yes they likely have a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, the Bible, a dictionary and thesaurus ----all lying side by side on a table in a reading area.

Enough said.

Obama: "I can take four more weeks of their attacks but the country can't take four more years of their policies."

A: Obama may be playing it too cool. With Sarah Palin beating him up and McCain starting to work on him now, he better not come off as a wimp -- complaining about “they’re attacking me” and “they’re saying these terrible things about me” -- because wimps don’t win.
