Don't know nothin' 'bout geography

Scott over at Power Line points out Obama's pre-loss excuse-making for the state of Kentucky:

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

And Scott also points out that Illinois shares a border with Kentucky while Arkansas does not. Good catch.

Perhaps Obama is just too exhausted from his rigorous campaign schedule to remember the 58th and 59th states, Missouri and Tennessee, which fall between Kentucky and Arkansas.

Or, perhaps he was speaking metaphorically about the attitudes and intellect of the folks of Kentucky. Because we all know that Kentucky, like Arkansas, is full of bitter, gun-totin' bible-thumpin', racist backwater hicks who can't summon the intellect to see that Obama is the savior of us all.
