My 90 your old white grandmother in Arkansas plans to vote for Obama in the GE
She decided because based on the Reverend Wright story she discovered he was not a muslim. My grandma worked in a shoe factory most of her life - I don't think she ever tasted a latte or arugula.

4. I think Obama's white grandmother is going to vote for him as well.
:shrug: I hate seeing adjectives in front of people describing their color. WTF difference does it make? Why couldn't you just say your 90 year old grandmother? Why make it a racist statement?

5. Despite what the MSM tells you, I think there are a lot
of white women who will be voting for Obama. I will. My sister, mother, and other female family members will (well, maybe not Mr MadinMo's family in Oklahoma, but I don't know for sure). And if my daugher, 15, could vote, she would vote for Obama. We are definitely your lower to mid middle class folks.

Sometimes I wonder where the pollsters get their numbers.

Hooray for your grandma! :hi:
