(CNN) -- Two-thirds of Hillary Clinton's supporters in Kentucky say they would vote Republican or not vote at all rather than for Barack Obama, exit polls show.

Forty-one percent of Clinton supporters said they'd cast their vote for John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and 23 percent said they would not vote at all.

Just 33 percent said they would back Obama in the general election, according to the polls.

Those numbers are even worse for Obama than in West Virginia one week ago, where 36 percent of Clinton voters said they would back him in the fall.

Not surprising. This is why Hillary will be the nominee.

Ay, Barrack - I suggest some of you supporters of the wunderkind actually read his biography. Quite the read, talk about romantisicing and fictionalising your own life and heritage.

Seriously, if this work of literature is an example of what we can look forward in the new dawn of Obama inspired political reality, well, I'm thinking the Whitehouse might need to move to Hollywood.

"I'm thinking the Whitehouse might need to move to Hollywood."

And here I was thinking that John Wayne already was president.

Seriously... at this point its either get with the program of supporting the nominee to be or publicly going against him for actual issues.

Have you read it? I have.

I can't vote, but I do want to understand what make a 'man that would be president' tick.

You mean, all anyone needs to do is read his biography and the spell will be broken? Is that Kentuckians have done? Gone out and read Obama's biography?

There was a Chicago Reader Article a lot closer to what the man stands for that is a bit closer to policy and people than what his bio states (bios tend to work for campaigns). I think I posted it somewhere back in OT obscurity... publication year 1995 if I remember correctly.

I think you guys are confused but then again I did put this little gem in the wrong thread to avoid complete confusion.

So 'Dreams from my Father' can safely be dismissed as having nothing to do with the man and his politics? Intersting.

You might be on to something... keeping within the on topic realm... all the OP really states is that there are some really foul-tempered people out there that really dislike Obama. So be it... you can't convince everyone, let alone the cynics in your own party.

Can you summarize in a sentence or two your conclusions about Barack Obama as a candidate based on your reading his biography?

The word you're looking for is 'woe'.
