(many people in my neck of the woods believe he is either a Muslim or the Anti-Christ, or possibly both). <BR/><BR/>The real question is whether it will damage him with the larger population. I don't think the claims of "snobbery" will cost him any votes with people who were already planning to vote for him, but it can't help his appeal to undecided voters, either in the primary elecection or later in the genreal.<BR/><BR/>But on this issue I'm sure we agree: I am sick to death of all rhetorical sniping against Obama, deserved or not, and am ready for the conversation to turn towards the actual issues and the candidates' proposed policies to address them. Everything else is just window dressing. It is bound to happen eventually, and the sooner the better!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314671073556804015noreply@blogger.com
