She should not have defused it (none / 0) (#35)

by changing the subject:

"cling to their guns or religion" is the real issue.

"Bitter", schmitter. Every Democrat in the country is beyond bitter! Nothing shamefull about bitter.

Since she represents the poor, the old, the disenfrandchised, the children, the disabled - she needs to show by kindness how he represents the heartless wing of the Democratic party, by deriding those who "cling".

I think the real issue (5.00 / 1) (#42)

is that Obama clearly implied that small town Midwesterners are bigots.  No one wants to be painted that way.  I grew up in small Midwestern towns myself.  Some people in every place or class are bigots.  And some are not.  Generalizing like that is not smart for any politician.
