if obama does lose, you'd be right.
the missus is from kentucky, and she assured me the reason why clinton won the primary there - despite the fact that her campaign was sinking at the time and that locals despised her east-coast elitism - was because so people simply refused to vote for an african-american, no matter how unpalatable the alternative is.
it's still shocking to me that in this day, folks still fall back on such knee-jerk reactions. sad that we're still so far from MLK's dream.

fine, then she could have said "i get my information online", and rattled off a few websites. and even you, an obviously techno-savvy individual, say "very few" - not "none". if pressed, i'll bet that you could some up with a newspaper or a mag that you flip through. it just points to either her lack of intellectual curiosity, or need to hide her true self. neither make for a good political leader, IMO.
