But they sure as hell will vote for him. Hell, they'd vote for a reincarnated Adolph Hitler before they'd vote for Obama here in Mississippi. People around here cannot tell me what they really like about Romney but they'll give you an earful as to why they hate Obama. Sprinkle the words, "socialist", "Marxist", "Communist", "Muslim", "foreigner" liberally throughout, add a few expletives and some other words and you'll have a typical conversation about what they don't like about Obama. Really, they're just pissed off that a black man is in charge and it enrages them to no end.
