Yep, but some things are opinion rather than truth, particularly when it comes to analyzing the voting patterns of other people whom you haven't even spoken to. One could speculate about why they might or might not vote for a particular candidate, but without asking or even knowing their specific circumstances, it's pretty arrogant to call it "truth."
But apparently neither of us are in danger of actually voting for him. I'm disappointed because I thought he might be better/smarter than to make such a clear unforced error, and I used to prefer him to Hillary and regard him as someone I'd be okay with in the White House (even though I would likely vote for the Republic candidate in the general because there's a sliver of a chance that the rate of government growth and taxation might be lower and because I think it's important to win in Iraq.)
Since Rezko, Rev. Wright and this pretending-to-know-the-minds-of-rural-voters-and-getting-it wrong stuff, I think he's just a more charismatic version of the same ol' political BS. It's just a slightly different kind of packaging.
