Greetings from Appalachia. This is a diary about one of my neighbors, Clinton (his first name), a person born and raised in the mountains of far western NC. Clinton has a tattoo of a Confederate flag on his arm and has a confederate flag hanging on the wall in his home.
Clinton arrived at the Democratic headquarters the other day in Bryson City (we are a small town in the Smoky Mountains) asking to help Obama get elected. He made a large sign for his yard. He said "I’m voting for Obama. I want an Obama sign in my yard. He’s the only one who has made any sense to me."
