In Philadelphia town hall meeting the Arizonan invokes his rival’s controversial comments earlier in the campaign suggesting small town Pennsylvanians and others are “bitter” and cling to their guns, religion.

Says after proclaiming that he will win the Keystone State battleground in November:

“We’re going to go to the small towns in Pennsylvania and I’m gonna to tell them I don’t agree with Senator Obama that they cling to their religion and the Constitution because they’re bitter.”

Remember the quote?

You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

The game is on for the battleground states.

Will Obama laugh off this flap as he did while running against Hillary? Or just accept the loss of white working class voters?

Stay tuned…….
