There's no need to swear.
I am just pointing out that the media would not tolerate an over-the-top
Democrtatic ad like the one described, due to our non-tolerance of that
sort of thing, whreas poking fun at Vermonters or West Virginians is
entirely tolerated.
Personally, if you want to talk about pandering, I'll talk abotu a party
that collects 90% of the vote of people of a certain race. That's only
*possible* via pandering.
