17. I'm not arguing that they voted for her because they think she was born in the south.
I think they see her as one of them primarily because she's married to Bill and because she lived in Arkansas.

If you want to slice and dice this, I will make it clearer and instead of saying they 'think she's one of them', I'll just say that more southerners feel she understands them and their culture because of her connections to it than feel the same way about Obama.

And I think this is largely because Obama is still very much an unknown to them, and I think Obama can change that with many southern voters.
