Is Ralph Smith Stupid or Just a Bigot?

Why is Ralph Smith smiling?

Ralph Smith of ... well, wherever he's living today ... was pondering a run against Roanoke lawyer John Lichtenstein, a high-profile professional with excellent credentials, and, according to Valerie Garner, said:

“What is a Philadelphia lawyer going to say to the Floyd County voters” and “How are they going to understand his style in Wythe County?”

Ralph's going to have to stop condescending to the good people of Floyd and Wythe Counties if he has any intention of representing them. They're not as dumb as he is and a whole lot of them are smarter than just about anybody he knows. Smith is an intellectual flyweight and he believes just about everybody else is, too. If he wins, he will be proved right.
