7. Blue collar are so busy trying to survive....
They vote based on name rec.

they are not always informed on the issues, which is why they voted Clinton. Name rec and AND feeling that they are familiar (the Clinton presidency).

That's why she has the built in advantage. But those who bother to research Barack, end up liking what he has to offer just as much, if not more.

They voted for Romney because they didn't know any better.

10. Working hard and not being able to keep up with politics is an elitist
statement? Maybe in the Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone.
In my neck of the woods, aka, the real world, this is a fact for an overwhelming percentage.

11. No, but saying that working people are ill informed certainly is (which is what you did)

12. Nope...that's not what I said.....
I said people to busy trying to survive don't have the time.

That is a sad reality, and I wish that it wasn't..because if it was, Barack would have the nomination by now.

8. Apparently the blue collar voters enjoy NAFTA and China free trade deals
I'm sure they will come to their senses once they have the chance to vote Obama in the General Election.
