Years ago, I remember someone in my family wondering aloud if we would ever see a black man in the Whitehouse. I think it was Thanksgiving dinner, 'cuz everyone was there. Anyhow, certain family members expressed disgust at the mere mention of it.
More recently;
After Obama won, they became staunch Republicans. They were probably concerned about his views on corporate tax rates?
Now that Cain is rising in the polls, they are really confused.
Maybe they have misgivings about his stance on gay marriage?
Or maybe they're just concerned country folk who stay in that shitty little town for it's 98% caucasian demographic and will side with anyone they think is going to protect a more traditional power base, much like the one we had in colonial times?
