Highlights from the above link…

Viessman is more succinct in analyzing why fellow rednecks may not be flocking to Obama’s campaign.

“Guns,” he said. “And that he’s black.”

“We are just trying to tell people that you don’t have to be afraid of Obama,” said Spencer, who has done everything from working as a laborer to selling real estate. “He’s not going to try to take away your guns, no matter what the NRA says.”

“Sometimes change is hard for people,” said Viessman, a retired highway patrol officer. “But I don’t care if you’re black or Oriental or green, if you can do the job. And he can do the job. He’s pretty near the smartest guy who’s ever run for president.”

Viessman’s neo-redneck take on that: “My dad used to say, ‘A poor man who votes for a Republican is a fool.'”

Anonymous, thank you.

Update: Here’s another link mentioning Rednecks for Obama.  I love these guys…

“As suggested last night that until the election we could very easily wind up doing a special comment here every show.  It was in turn suggested to me that while events may warrant them, this would certainly render that word “special” – for two weeks anyway – inoperative.”

Yeah, yeah – Olbermann repulses you.  I’m a fan.  Regardless, unlike some of his recent special comments, he makes some kick ass points during the following “campaign comment” on 10/21…

God, she is a fcking idiot.  You know who I feel bad for?  The people of Alaska.  They will forever be known as the idiots that voted palin governor.

Seriously, the mccain family is going to look back in a few months and wish that they let john live out the remaining days of his life in an enjoyable manner.  Son of a bitch – if growing old saddens you then don’t watch this clip…
