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.
