You Can't Do It, My Fellow Prisoners
In the Democratic primaries, working-class whites consistently backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Later polls showed them overwhelmingly favoring Republican nominee John McCain.
Now, driven by fears that their personal finances could further deteriorate, many see Obama as the better choice — their thinking in some cases driven more by concern about how McCain would handle the economy than any growing admiration for his rival.
"I don't know that there's anything I particularly like about him (Obama), but I dislike McCain, and I dislike the way the country is, and Republicans need to change," said lifelong Republican Ruth Ann Michel, 64, a retiree shopping in a market in Butler on a recent day. She said her vote for Obama would be her first for a Democratic presidential candidate.
Perhaps if Senator POW! stopped pissing and moaning about earmarks and how THAT ONE doesn't know how to win wars, he might say something that appeals to the working class.

Don't give him tips. Some one on his staff might have heard of the internet.

Bullshit.
If "working class whites" consistantly supported HRC, she would have won the primary. They are the backbone of the Democratic party. Had all these people jumped to Johnny Mac, then he would be ahead right now.
I love the way the dirty grungy leftist "independents" deem themselves as the critical bloc in the upcoming election. NTodd and the rest of his ilk have nowhere else to go, since the magic elf went down to defeat, so they try to prop themselves up as the saviors of the republic.
People are moving to Obama because he is the only rational person in the race.
"Now, driven by fears that their personal finances could further deteriorate, many see Obama as the better choice — their thinking in some cases driven more by concern about how McCain would handle the economy than any growing admiration for his rival."
What do you base that on? Your own observations? Stick to being a douchebag on Eschaton.... It's what you do best. You have no fucking idea why people are picking Obama - it's your opinion, nothing more. Did you do any studies? Ask people? Gather data? No?
You spew bullshit with all the practice of someone with a philosophy degree..... in other words, a bullshit artist.
