But if anyone thinks Mr. Ellison is going anywhere near the Presidency, forget it.

He can be brilliant, erudite and have a world of great ideas, but because of his Muslim faith rural America will NEVER vote for him.

Yesterday I heard a right-wing shock jock refer to him as an, "Islamic terrorist communist". Yeah, they've already started on him. The churches will rip him apart.

I hope I am wrong but that's the way I see it at this time.

To the presidency. Remember that Dean took the position after a failed primary run.

A Republican I know constantly insisted right up until the election that the midwest would never vote for Obama. Check out the map below

Actually I was disappointed that they didn't vote for Hillary. But those damn emails were worse than being the secretly Kenyan Muslim socialist with all the other nonsense.
