Virginia Politics-Door to door "This holler supports Jerry Kilgore"

I took a walk around my holler today.

• Variant of hollow.

  REGIONAL NOTE   One feature of Upper Southern English and specifically of Appalachian English is its pronunciation of the final unstressed syllable in words such as hollow, window, and potato as (ər). Holler, winder, and tater are merely variant pronunciations reflected in spelling. As a noun, holler has the specific meaning in the Appalachians of “a small valley between mountains”: They live up in the holler underneath Big Bald Mountain.

I have no fear that Kilgore will carry SWVA. My holler supports him. Going door to door today I found that my nieghbers all support Jerry and all of them will vote. I talked to 18 people here and everyone supports Jerry. This makes you wonder about the recent polls huh. Everyone knows Spark It Up supports him, but it was great to see that the whole holler supports him also. I would do more, but I am not feeling well the past couple days. I have great friends taking care of me, and a couple of sisters who keep me in line. I will vote early tomorrow and I hope you will too.

And Remember

This holler supports Jerry Kilgore and you should too.
