ORIGINAL: DarkSteven So who will appreciate the Osama killing the most? I contend that it's the folks that have blue collar leanings, that like guns, that are the "salt of the earth". The ones that have always been suspicious of Obama. The rock-solid GOP demographic. I wonder, if there's any chance for Obama to crack this group after killing OBL.... If he can peel some of them away permanently from the GOP, then the GOP is in deep trouble. Right now, they're kinda confused. I've read some comments that Obama really didn't do anything and was simply using the system that Bush provided him. That somehow OBL's killing was really Bush's doing. For example, Palin made a speech yesterday in Colorado in which she lauded the servicemen who carried out the task, and Bush for having fought terrorism, and pointedly omitted any mention of Obama. I don;t think that Obama will get any love from this demographic. He's black, he's educated at an Ivy League school, and his values don't mesh. But they're gonna be confused for a while. This will have so close to zero impact a year and a half now speculation about where he will pick up a few thousand votes is irrelevant
