Obama supporters, let's not get too excited by Obama winning the women vote tonight

[NJSecularist]

Black women voted overwhelming for Obama today.

White women still support Hillary by double digits.

To win in Wisconsin and Ohio, he is going to need to make in-roads with the white women demographic.

That's the truth. I am happy about our wins, but let's be realistic.

1. He has made inroads. He did better with white women here than he did in SC, for example.

4. Yes, he is making in-roads.

But he still needs to do better.

Women comprise such a large portion of the electorate that he can't afford to trail double digits in the white women vote in Wisconsin and Ohio, two states whose demographics don't favor Obama

2. When Hillary's not available to vote, they'll vote Obama! White women vote against the Dem party?

6. yes - or just not vote for Obama -older women talking to the wife say all talk -but expect no action

the more liberal read his small steps/bipartisan ideas as meaning no real change - so why bother unless you want to hear that Preacher cadence for the next 4 years

I doubt they'd vote against Obama - these folks are solid Dems -

but I can easily see them just not voting for him.

8. Think again, I was a solid Deaniac and voted a straight Dem ticket in Nov.

3. He's doing fine, but let's keep working hard!

[NJSecularist]

5. Agreed

But he still has a lot of work to do.

7. Think about this a bit

What I find very interesting is how Obama supporters on here and on many other site slam Hillary supporters, but if your guy was to be nominated and has to run against McCain in Nov would you not need the same Hillary supporters to give him their vote in order for him to win the Presidency? But yet its a constant attack on Hillary supporters, laughing and gloating with every Obama win, thread and threads on Hillary calling her names, laughing and having a good time, in the end there will be a price to pay for all this don't you think? People may not forget or forgive so easily and all the gloating may turn to tears when that day finally comes and the results are not what you wanted, maybe some of you should think about that at some point.
