Obama Takes His Message to the Bitter Clingers

This should be cause for concern among the Obama faithful.

Despite early optimism, Obama's strategists are mapping out an electoral plan similar to Democrat John Kerry's from 2004. Obama still is pushing into traditionally Republican and rural areas, such as this farm region along the Ohio River. But don't look for the Democratic presidential nominee in, say, undeniably GOP Idaho.

They should not be doing anything similar to John Kerry. I mean that man lost to a President that was embroiled in an unpopular war that was descending into chaos and has one of the worst approval ratings of all time. I think just about any Democrat other then John Kerry could have beaten Bush for his second term.

So Obama is going into the heart of the rust belt where everyone is "clinging to their guns and religion?" That sounds like a recipe for disaster. That area is dotted with tiny Wasilla, Alaska-like towns that have Mayors like Sarah Palin that the Dems have nothing but contempt for.

So in other words Obama is essentially saying "you bitter clingers who aren't qualified to be VP should vote for me anyway because I am mighty and you are worms!" I guess those fly-over states matter if you want to win an election.
