To Chuck:
I’m not projecting anything; I know my people. I grew up in Pennsylvania amongst factory workers and farmers. I spent the first 20 years of my working career doing blue-collar work. I know the attitude.
Working class people in this country are proud, and justifiably so. We have worked hard to get where we are. Criticism from our so-called betters is not something we put up with. Talk smack about my God or my guns, and I’ll get an attitude real quick. Try a little country music if you doubt me. Trace says it better than I can.

Obama has made a bad mistake by talking down to blue-collar union voters. You fail to get my point, so allow me to be more explicit. Obama CANNOT win without the white working class. He’s lost a core constituency. We like candidates who respect us for our hard work and patriotism. We cop an attitude when we detect condescension.
I predict that Obama will lose Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. He may pick up a state or two in the (formerly) solid south or west, but not enough to offset his losses in key states. I don’t fear an Obama presidency because it’s not going to happen. Mr. Unity has fractured his own party. That he fails to see it only underscores his arrogance. Nuff said.
