Ralph Stanley endorses Obama
Ralph Stanley, my bluegrass hero, has endorsed Obama in a radio ad to run in Appalachia (Virginia and North Carolina parts anyway).
It's brilliantly written, I think. It asks voters to think about their economic situation, tells them that Obama is the one to help, and then works to allay concerns of "he's not like us," by emphasizing that he's a loving father and devoted husband.
Nice work.
If it can even help gain a little in suspicious white Appalachian voters (Hillary Clinton voters, perhaps), it'll make an enormous difference.
