...you'd think Appalachia was far and away THE most critical electoral demographic in 2008. Gee, who'd have thunk it?
As I said in an email to my sister earlier, maybe they just don't want to upset a group of people who are armed to the teeth. Well, tooth.
Funny though, I doubt the Matthewses, Norons, and Russerts of this world would get caught dead interacting with those whom they evidently think are the proverbial salt-o-the-earth in any way beyond the equivalent of a hominid version of Lion Country Safari.
John Dean, in this article Blue Gal linked to, hits the nail on the head:
...eight years of President George W. Bush's anti-intellectual stance, staggering inarticulateness, and clear pattern of incompetence may well encourage Americans to vote for a chief executive/commander-in-chief with brainpower commensurate with the demands of the job.
In other words, Appalachia's HAD their president. Time to move on.
