The ad is still very white and unappealing to me. Who knows but that droves (to continue the bucolic theme) of folks in Iowa and NH will show up at the polling stations to vote for Bernie because of the video? Still, the ad is being viewed all over the country, and the campaign doesn't end in those two states.

And yeah, he's focusing on the first caucus and primary states, go figure.<br /><br />I'll note that I worked for Obama in NH in '08 in a very conservative county, which went for him--and the Northeast Kingdom of VT when 2:1 for him, despite being mostly the kinda people we're told wouldn't vote for a black Democrat.ntoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068160577299501895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-50218290036482853962016-01-22T21:36:39.283-06:002016-01-22T21:36:39.283-06:00June:

Here...Morning in America - positively Reaganesque. Here's what I said at Charles Pierce's place.<br /><br />"Where did the ad run? New Hampshire? Iowa? Where are Bernie's black supporters? I see one brown person. The ad would not play well in other parts of the country. Sorry, I could not relate to the ad. I grew up in a diverse city, not on a farm."<br /><br />And here was one response to my comment:<br /><br />"June Butler Please why do old people pick stuff apart? It is a great ad...I'm 59 and how many blacks and ??? did not take away a thing,,,please God don't let me became old."<br /><br />Ha ha. She's a supporter of Bernie Sanders. Perhaps she doesn't know Bernie is 74, and, if elected, he will be 78 at the end of his term, which is definitely old.

On the other hand, all three went for Obama whereas some states with large populations of non-white people didn't. On a third hand, we've got the emetically racist Paul LePage as governor.
