A lot of people would probably find it shocking that Merle Haggard supports Hillary Clinton.

But he does, and last year wrote a song in her honor:  http://www.newwest.net/city/article/merl e_haggard_on_hillary_put_a_woman_in_char g

Merle Haggard is as grizzled a rural, white male as there is -- the original Okie from Muscogee.  He famously loathes flag-burners, liberals, and the "hippies out in San Francisco."  

So what does somebody like Merle Haggard see in Hillary Clinton?  For that matter, why all the support for Hillary among working class men in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and (apparently) Ohio?
