Um...Ok. Obama now winning racist, bigot demographic.
Ok, I first have to say--that I, in NO WAY condone the awful language and bigotry that is displayed
in these articles. I think it's terrible.

However, this is newsworthy--that McCain can't even secure the raging racist demographic.

I mean...do you laugh or cry? Probably both.

------
So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

In this economy, racism is officially a luxury. How is John McCain going to win if he can't win those voters? John Murtha's "racist" western Pennsylvania district, where this story takes place, is some of the roughest turf in the nation. But Barack Obama is on the ground and making inroads due to unusually strong organizing leadership.
