Rednecks For Obama In Denver

Yes, self-proclaimed rednecks, at least some, are rooting for Obama. Two in particular have come to Denver with special T-shirts reading “Rednecks for Obama,” and a big sign to greet the Democratic convention attendees.

Les Spencer, hails from Rolla, Mo., and is a strong supporter of Obama. He said that Obama can take a claim on his state which has voted Republican in passed elections. Obama has come through Missouri on a bus tour, said Spencer.

“Obama is not going to take away people’s gun rights,” Spencer said. He added that he is an old hunter and fisherman and even watches NASCAR. “That’s a redneck,” he said.

The Rednecks for Obama also have a website: www.rednecks4obama.com.

The website is currently under construction, but it does have a couple of pictures, including one with Obama meeting the redneck team.
