Small Town America and Politics

BBC News: A candidate knows when he has put his big feet in the brown stuff when its gets reported here over the water, Obama's remarks in California that that small town America is cynical and bitter and keep to religion because they are losers will not go down well in Pennsylvania. This political mistake recalls Reagan in 1976 when he suggested that the Tennessee Valley Authority, TVA be sold, Reagan had been expected to win Tennessee over President Ford, he lost, Obama was cutting the Clinton lead in Pennsylvania, he will now lose the state, and it could be by a big margin.
