Palin and "pro-America" parts of the country

Last night, Palin was speaking at a fundraiser, and while there don't seem to have been any cameras, someone did capture the audio. It sounds like she was speaking off the cuff, and she referred to the parts of the country she has visited on her campaign as the "pro America" parts of the country. Of course, that drew a lot of attention, and she tried to walk back the comments today. However, the folks at www.fivethirtyeight.com have done some work on the demographics of the locations Palin has visited, and guess what? They're decidedly 'whiter' than the average demographics of the country. They also looked at the places Obama has visited, and those places average out to be very close to the norm.

Wow, Biden is sick of it! I like that reaction.

Where did she say that?

Joe speaks from the heart and Sarah speak from small town hickness.
