Stumble It!
"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country. Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle." - Senator Barack Obama, on some of the reasons why Senator Clinton is likely to win Kentucky's primary on Tuesday, May 20th.
I do give Obama some consideration in knowing that he is likely to be beat in the democratic primary here in Kentucky. But, at looking at just this line alone, I wonder even more about the geography lessons he had as a child (also see his recent problems with Sioux Falls and Sioux City here).
Let's see, Arkansas IS close to Kentucky, as stated, but not quite as close as Obama's home state of Illinois. Matter of fact, the state he represents in the Senate actually borders Kentucky. Please, will somebody in the Obama campaign get Barack a map. With all 50 states. Draw in the other 7, if needed, so he'll recognize it.
I'm not convinced it's Kentucky knowing Senator Clinton that's the issue. I think it's Obama not knowing Kentucky that's the issue.
