She is still using the same campaign style they used back in the 1990s.

What I want to know is why people here think this sort of crap isn't indicative of her pandering to the crowd.
It's repulsive.
If Rudy Guiliani went to a state in the South and gave a speech like he was from there, he would be pounded in to the ground by DU members.

This type of pandering isn't going to impress anyone, except maybe for the writers of SNL.
