Reply #8: Well, how the hell CAN Iowa be ranked with Mississippi, poorest dumbest fatest state?

[TacticalPeek]

I've lived in Mississippi since Truman was president. All of us here who might conceivably vote for a Dem for President, like when Jimmy Carter carried the state, all of us know we live in the poorest state, the least educated state, the state at the bottom of all the heaps. That's why we expect politicians and government officials to DO something the fuck about it. Like when during Bill Clinton's administration, the income gap actually narrowed for the first time in decades.

In our eyes, to see a comparatively rich, educated, 'enlightened' state like Iowa ranked with Mississippi for anything is quite remarkable. Especially the backwardness of unequal treatment for women.

I understand of course why she apologized to Senator Lott and why he accepted it. Decorum and PC requires that we not notice that we live in the poorest, least educated state etc etc etc

Hillary is not writing Mississippi off. She will be here Thursday for the Jefferson Jackson Hamer Dinner, and Bill will be in Hattiesburg, Meridian and Tupelo Friday. They show up for us because we show up for them.

Press releasing an old sound bite from last year ain't much of a campaign from Obama. Everybody already knows about Mississippi goddam. As of tonight, Obama has no scheduled appearances down here at the bottom of the heaps.
