Barack, Barack, Barack... y'know how you fell into this one? Someone on your within the last week showed you some data about how poorly you're connecting with "rural voters," so you decided to start peppering your delivery with redneck coloquialisms that you don't generally use in conversation and are thus likely to mis-use. Don't do that again. The only Democrat who could get away with the "Don't be afraid, I'm a bit of a hillbilly too!" bit was Bill Clinton... because it was TRUE. You're a black Liberal Democrat from the North... NOBODY who'd be inclined to feel linguistic-kinship with someone who uses the phrase "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig" was EVER going to vote for you.
