88. I don't think you know much about Kansas or Kansas City
I am active in the Democratic party in both Kansas and Missouri. At the county and state levels. I also sit on the Steering Committee for two different DFA groups (in both states) and I am on the board for our state progressive caucus in the Democratic party. And I just got back from a week in DC, where I talked to Democrats from all over the country.

I live in a very red county where Republicans are abandoning their party - in droves. Obama's message of change resonates with them. I wish I had a dime for every Republican who has told me that in the last three months alone. When we caucused on Super Tuesday, the Republicans switched parties to caucus for Obama, not Hillary. And yes, Rush is all over the radio here - three times a day in my city.

In that whole world you don't know about, Hillary is not well-liked. Not at all.

Obama is not my first choice but Hillary is a nightmare.
