A Simple, Humorous Reason Why Hillary Cannot Win in the South in the GE
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hillary+clinton+ban+transfats">Southerners are notorious for liking even their fried food deep fried and refried.

1. I just know what I've heard
today, from one of my co-workers, a native Arkansan--"It isn't time in this country for a woman to be president". And he likes Bill Clinton. To be fair, he says the same thing about a black man being president as well.

2. I Find Those Folks Repugnant...

Blech.

3. HRC just might fool you in the South. Using MSM talking
points does not help our party.

5. But My Personal Familiarity with the South...
... informs my thinking on this.

P.S. I include SE Ohio in my "key" swing areas of flippable purple areas.
