"STOP HILLARY NOW" billboard, and why I think Hillary can't win in the South.
Advertisements [?]
This is the Sean Hannity billboard I pass everyday on the way to work. In big letters it says "STOP HILLARY NOW". It doesn't say "STOP OBAMA NOW", or "STOP EDWARDS NOW". It says "STOP HILLARY NOW". The billboard is just outside Atlanta.

Last winter I went to an Atlanta Thrashers NHL hockey game to cheer on the home team. During one of the TV timeouts they do this thing where they show a picture of one of the fans, and then they show a picture of a celebrity that looks like that person. On this paticular night they were showing fans that looked like politicians (Arnold, Rudy, Gore, etc..). After showing four or five they finally got to a woman that looked like Hillary. They showed the woman for two or three seconds and then put up a picture of Hillary. The whole place errupted in BOOS, and not just for a few seconds. I'm talking about 20,000-30,000 people all booing when they showed a picture Hillary. There was no reaction for any other celebrity.

Now, I can see how Hillary might have be able to win in the city of Atlanta. It's a liberal city with many African Americans. But, just outside of Atlanta in the suburbs, and all throughout Georgia, most of the people hate Hillary - not dislike, but hate. They will come to the polls with passion to beat her. They are rabid Republicans, and they have the choice of no less than five right-wing talk radio stations.

Air America left Atlanta last year.

What does this mean for the rest of the South (NC, SC, Alabama, Ark, Tenn, Miss)? Atlanta is by far the largest liberal city in the South. If she can't win Georgia, with a city like Atlanta, she has no chance in any other state in the South.

Flame me all you want, but I live her, and I see the hate every day.
