In reply to the discussion: Moms of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner to Stump for Clinton [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)4. Uh-huh. 2008 is calling.
Obama made his comment about 'clinging to guns and religion' and Clinton feinted to the right, for gun owners.

From Wiki:
"Campaigning in the week of April 14, 2008, included a tough debate between Obama and Clinton, who pounded her rival for his recent remark that decades of economic decline had left some rural voters "bitter" and clinging to religion and guns.
On April 22, she won the Pennsylvania primary by 9.2 percentage points, keeping her campaign alive and bringing in a much-needed $4.3 million in new funds over the next 24 hours, although the campaign claimed the figure was $10 million.[319][352] Weekly churchgoers made up almost 36 percent of the electorate, who went to Clinton by a 5644 margin. More than a third were gun owners, and they preferred Clinton by an almost-identical margin60 percent to 40 percent, exit polls found out. The victory showed she had the better shot at winning on November 4, 2008, than he, she stated. A total of 158 delegates to the convention were at stake.[353]"
