I think the flyover country hates him for the same reasons they didn't support Kerry or Gore.They feel left out of a lot of what is going on and another thing is, people tend to vote like their peers.How many of them have multicultural social networks and the Repugs have done a masterful job of spin on making latte rinking liberals a joke
they can all bond around.

The sad thing is those same repug spinmeisters ae quaffig the best imported wines and driving Mercedes.You are so right about how this election has shown the power of the media to manipulate public opinion.Its truly frightening .
