If we had a Democratic candidate who was a vietnam war-deserter for instance, or a Republican candidate who was a nutcase preacher...THEN we would have something, cause those two fit with the negative stereotypes of their respective parties.

Down south "liberal" is a curse word and a symbol of being unpatriotic and against family values. That's why you won't see in the deep south, I'm sure some of you know what states I mean one in particular, a liberal presidential candidate voted in. I can tell you that negative stereotypes about liberals down here is born and bred in the majority of the population. Just like segregation is still going on unofficially but anyone who visits will see that clearly the races stay separate for the most part.

I agree that if it was Obama this would probably be a huge issue but since it's McCain (Republican) is not a big deal. Frankly, I don't think it's a big deal on either side but you definitely have noticed the negative spin or lack thereof depending on which side of the political machine you fall.
