Yeah, I don't know what part of the south the OP friend is in, or where Mixedmedia has visited, but in the part of the South I'm in, Obama is wildly popular with all races and genders. The only demographic split I'm seeing in Obama/Clinton support is age--older Democrats seem to prefer Hillary. Real change is scary, I guess, and might cause the country to break a hip...

It is interesting that there are still regional political standards, though. Why should Massachusetts be so strongly Democrat and Texas so strongly Republican, when we're all watching the same mass media? I guess I'm glad there are--it would be a shame to have the whole electorate be homogenized and texture-free.
