for Obama is in S Dakota, but there was a story on the most democratic county being in KY. They interviewed the locals and they still had the new deal mentality. They remembered when the democrats brought electricity to that part of the country. They knew which side their bread was buttered on.
I didn't bring up the obvious about skin color, because this was a coal article. They also didn't poll well for Ashley Judd when she was considering running for Senate after they heard her comments about coal.
