Kokomo - Through the Eyes of The New York Times
They had many pictures - I'm sure - to pick from...

Kokomo, Ind., a manufacturing city of 46,000 north of Indianapolis, is under a rare political spotlight as the state prepares for the May 6 primary.

Nice.

Isn't that what everyone in Kokomo looks like? Fat or half-naked in the back of a rusted-out pickup truck?

I really liked how the article pointed out the people's resistance to the "Change" message. "Change to what?" one guy asked. That guy has more intelligence than most of the media, because the MSM hasn't even thought to ask the question.

Skyepuppy,

The perfect point, surgically made.

I suppose the man is the message... The goal and the plan... The change... Liberal and black.

I saw that article and the pictures on the Times website. This is a perfect example of the media knowing the story they wanted to write, then going out and looking for the right people to interview and the right pictures to take so that they could write that story.

My favorite quote from the article was the one by Karen Lasley, the Hillary Clinton volunteer:

“We are manufacturing workers, farmers, beer drinkers, gun owners, pickup drivers."
