The OH Audience on CNN last night actually said they'd vote for McCain

[DrPresident]

these dumbasses...they agreed that obama won the debate but when asked who'd they vote for most of them said McCain. WTF is wrong with these people????

[LibraLiz1973]

1. Obama is black. N/T

[AndyA]

3. Oh then that explains it. That's the first good reason I've heard for voting for McCain.

Barack being black is bigger than the bad economy, the lost jobs, the home foreclosures, the lies told to start a war, the outing of a CIA agent, the illegal spying, the borrowing from a communist country, no health care, crumbling bridges, high prescription costs...


...wait a minute...


...Barack's black? Are you sure?

:sarcasm:

(Pathetic, isn't it? What the hell is wrong with people that they'd allow their idiotic bigotry to override their desire to live well and take care of their families?)

[LibraLiz1973]

4. It IS pathetic. And annoying. It actually chills my blood.

Fucking assholes.

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

7. I think you nailed it.

Racial prejudice and bigotry are deep. Here in the rural South it's pretty obvious, while in some other parts of the countries it's much more subtle-- although it still comes to the surface every now and then, even in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania.

[Barack_America]

20. Yep. I've gotten flack for saying that Ohio will go for McCain...

...and for that very reason. But I think it will.

Apologies to Ohio DUers, but I'm getting a very bad vibe from your state.

[buff2]

33. I live here in Ohio

And it is truly an embarrassment.:blush: These racist bastards are plentiful here,that's for sure. But there are a whole lot of people here who think differently. So don't count us out yet! :hi:

[Beacool]

28. That meme is getting old.

Yes, there are some people who would never vote for a black man, but most people who do not support Obama do so for other reasons that are not related to his race. Some think he's too inexperienced, others don't like his stance on the issues and some others don't like the people he associated himself with in the past. It's not all about race......

It's as disingenuous as saying that everyone who didn't vote for Hillary is sexist.

[abburdlen]

30. Those same people voted against Kerry

and the it wasn't because of the color of his skin.
Many people know who they are going to vote for and then figure out reasons why that's the right choice.

Race of course will play a part in this election but let's not forget there are plenty of people who just won't vote for a someone with a (D) next to their name.

[Ozma]

2. They are racists......plain and simple eom

[Skidmore]

5. I watched their little dialometer at the bottom of the screen and wondered

who these people are. The men only liked the warmongering bullyboy stuff McCain whipped out. The women were really with Obama on much of what he had to say. The women seemed to get what he was saying about economic policy and the men consistently dialed down on economic proposals that didn't involve the standard Republican rhetoric. It was positively Pavlovian. I decided that Ohio has been well trained in R dialectics.

[iceman66]

19. The women seemed to respond very favorably to Obama

There were more than a few moments when the 'women' line went all the way to the top and stayed there for the duration of Obama's answer. McCain mostly flatlined the entire debate. And yet many of the women still said they were voting for McCain. I just don't get it?

If it was simply due to racism, would these people still be 'undecided' at this point? I would think McCain would have locked up the racist vote months ago.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. They think racism will feed their family.

I don't feel any sympathy for them whatsoever.

[DrPresident]

14. I know right?

I hear ya.

[AspenRose]

21. That should be a bumper sticker or t-shirt or button or SOMETHING

[slinkerwink]

8. because they're comfortable with the status quo. It's kind of like

being a battered wife.

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

11. Good point!

[DrPresident]

16. Excellent point!

[KathieG]

23. I've been saying the same thing...

it's battered country syndrome...people are terrified of change.

[Eurobabe]

9. what area of the state were they from?

just curious. From what I hear northern Ohio hates Johhny McShitstain.

[DrPresident]

13. I don't know

if it was said, I didn't hear it. But that's some scary shit, ya'll...imagine how many other idiots feel that way. **smh**

[NOLALady]

10. They have no problem voting against their interest.

It happens all the time around here. I'm surrounded by clowns. We're the poorest nation in the states and local talk shows are practically bragging about how Louisiana will support the loser.

[iceman66]

12. This is exactly why

we can't be complacent about this election.

They not only agreed that Obama won the debate, but judging by the lines on the bottom of the screen, responded much, much better to Obama's positions on the issues.

WHY then exactly would they want to vote for McCain?

[kstewart33]

15. Racism. nt

[budkin]

17. Ohio is a pretty racist state... I went to school there for 4 years

[iceman66]

22. But wouldn't the racists have decided already?

These were supposed to be 'undecided' voters.

[WI_DEM]

18. So? the polls of uncommitted voters by CNN, CBS and Fox indicate Obama won big.

[EnviroBat]

24. Yep, those are the vapid, mouth-breathers that I am surrounded by

in this lame-ass state. Closet racists, and dumber than a wet bag of shit.

[TomClash]

25. Obama is dignified, polite, decent, humane, confident and humble

But his skin is dark and his hair is kinky. And that's far more important. :sarcasm:

[BklynChick]

26. they were on tv and some of & some of them didn't wanna admit they were voting for Obama.

[HughBeaumont]

27. Because my state is loaded with doorknobs.

Kicking and screaming will the backwoods motherfuckers who reside in the Red Sea be dragged. Even in Northeast Ohio, I'm seeing WAY too many McClown/Stupid signs in working class houses. Bullshit. Chickens for fucking Colonel Sanders. How far does the goddamned pipe have to go in before these idiots stop saying "Please sir, may I have another inch???"

[FrenchieCat]

29. No they didn't.

I watched and counted along with Malveaux. She counted 10 for Mccain, when 9 people had their hand up, and counted 12 for Obama, when 14 had their hands up. Then she reported 12 to 14 in favor of McCain.

It was weird, but the OH audience did NOT say they'd vote for McCain.

[goclark]

32. That's what I saw too

[ClarkUSA]

31. When did they say that? Link?

Thanks for your concern.
