Pa. voters divided over Obama remarks Quote:

SHENANDOAH, Pa. - Yes, some Democrats in Pennsylvania's Rust Belt communities were upset by Barack Obama's suggestion that voters there "cling to guns or religion" because of bitterness about their economic lot. But many more seem to think it was no big deal — and if there's a problem it's with the political slapfest that has followed.

Dennis Yezulinas, another Clinton supporter in Shenandoah, said he is more offended by the rhetorical fight that followed Obama's comment than by the remark itself.
"Not just for the good of the Democratic Party, but for the good of the country, they need to make it less contentious," said Yezulinas, a former state prison guard who has been laid off from a plant that manufactures doors in a neighboring town.

I keep saying it. This negative shit-slinging by both candidates will continue to destroy both Clinton and Obama. This seems especially evident with the Bill Clinton supporters - a large portion have said they'll back McCain. The Democrats will self destruct by the convention and McCain will cruise to victory if it doesn't stop.
