Hillary voters: Gone are blacks, men, young people and better-educated whites. In fact,

[Imagevision]

the only groups Clinton can still count on are low-income whites and older white women.

Not a bad weekend for Obama. Not only did he win four out of four states over Hillary, but he also took home a Grammy for best spoken word album, beating out former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
And for some strange reason the M$M carried little mention or none to Obama's defeat over Bill Clinton?!?

1. Revisiionist History. The Groups you describe were Obamas

voters from day one.
Just a question: Are the Blacks marginalizing themselves
within the Democratic Party over the long run. Jusat a question
--no bias intended.

[billbuckhead]

2. Poor is Hillary is stuck with those poorer whites and old women

God forbid our base would get a candidate they could vote for vs the latte crowd.

[Hieronymus]

30. That musical video is such an embarrassment ... old people trying ..

to imagine what would appeal to young people.

[Imagevision]

4. Blacks marginalizing? not at all, a trend has just begun with some

of the black vote switching pledged and support from Hillary to Obama.

<snip> “In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit,” said Mr. Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who endorsed Mrs. Clinton last fall. “Something is happening in America, and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.”

Mr. Lewis, who carries great influence among other members of Congress, disclosed his decision in an interview in which he said that as a superdelegate he could “never, ever do anything to reverse the action” of the voters of his district, who overwhelmingly supported Mr. Obama.

“I’ve been very impressed with the campaign of Senator Obama,” Mr. Lewis said. “He’s getting better and better every single day.”

His comments came as fresh signs emerged that Mrs. Clinton’s support was beginning to erode from some other African-American lawmakers who also serve as superdelegates. Representative David Scott of Georgia, who was among the first to defect, said he, too, would not go against the will of voters in his district.

16. Bullshit. Just a few months ago black voters were supporting Clinton over Obama

The Clintons fucked themselves with that voting bloc by being such ruthless assholes.

Oh, and I suppose you don't have a problem when 90% of black voters vote for the Dem candidate in the general do you? Or are they "marginalizing" themselves then?

Fucking racist moron.

[Exultant Democracy]

32. No Shit, Last year almost no one knew Obama's name and Clinton was the wild favorite and inevitable

All these voters where Clinton's someone else's or no one's. Obama hasn't been on the national stage for 20 years and didn't come with a built in constituency, talk about revisionist history.

[Hieronymus]

28. Your wrong .. read the news.

[Perry Logan]

46. And we have INSTANT DEBUNK!

[billyoc]

3. Sen. Clinton is still polling well among her campaign staff,

for now... :evilgrin:

[K Gardner]

6. Yes, the ones who haven't quit, been fired or transferred :-)

[polpilot]

10. Bill's vote is solid...Chelsea's almost a sure thing.

[Darth_Kitten]

5. And we all know the poor and any woman over a certain age don't count, right?

Please re-evaluate how you see people.

[theHandpuppet]

7. My partner and I both have master's degrees

And we both support Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, though she wasn't our first choice.

Oh wait... we're both over 50.

Um... and my partner is Hispanic.

Er... and of course, we're gay.

Eh... and we're not considered poor.

And our next door neighbors, who are black and in a mixed Muslim/Christian household, and also working poor, are voting for Hillary as well.

Gee, I guess those stereotypes must have missed our neighborhood.


:shrug:

[Imagevision]

8. My partner and I both have master's degrees... heavy sigh, you're both beautiful...

[polpilot]

11. MASTERS DEGREES!!!! WOW!!!! Framed?????????????????

[theHandpuppet]

12. See the OP, thanks

The only Hillary voters left are supposed to be old, uneducated white people.

[Independent-Voter]

15. All that education, but can't see the writing on the wall

Sad really. BTW, my brother and his partner (partner is a gay republican, go figure) are both firmly in the Obama camp.

[theHandpuppet]

17. Yep, I guess that old bandwagon just passed us on by

And the fact that your Log Cabin Republican bro-in-law is supporting Obama tells me that we made the right choice.

[Tarheel_Dem]

43. purely anecdotal, and kinda pompous...really.

the op referred to an undeniable trend in Obama's last 8 or 10 (I can't keep up) wins. Everyone on this board can come up with some friend, partner, spouse, neighbor anecdote to support their position. Doesn't change exit polling.

[theHandpuppet]

45. Yeah, well I'm a bit tired of the class war here

Too bad you weren't around when one poster in this thread described Hillary's supporters as the "trailer park vote". Or in other threads where they've been decribed as a bunch of post-menopausal white women, among other things. Get back to me when you can recognize what's really pompous around here.

13. Did you take a poll?

Just wondering if there's been a study on who "the trailer crowd", as you put it, is voting for this year. :eyes:

[BigDDem]

21. Are those the folks in your trailer court or just in general?

[demokatgurrl]

14. Well then I guess I'd better follow the sheep and the media

and vote for the popular kid.

[SIMPLYB1980]

18. Poor people and women don't matter if they don't support Obama?

[Independent-Voter]

19. Here's a hint for you - if your only block of voters are post-menopausal white women

you're going to get your ass handed to you in any election.

[SIMPLYB1980]

20. And here is a hint for you.

I am a college educated 28 year old male voting for Clinton. So I guess I don't count either since according to you I'm voting for Obama.

Here is another hint for you. This is Obama's plan for unity.

And another hint in case you didn't get the others.

[NMMNG]

36. .....

:spray:


Ho-lee-shit.

[ErnestoG]

40. Photoshopped graphics are your argument?

Good christ, you WERE really a little twit in the Clinton years, weren't you....

[QC]

25. No one matters who hasn't had the epiphany yet.

They missed the train.

[IronLionZion]

22. The word is "Americans". Americans support the candidates and it's best to stop labelling us. nt

[goclark]

24. Exactly, we are Americans!

Why must they continue to l;abel us!

[QC]

23. I say, what a scurvy crew is gathering behind that harridan! How déclassée!

[Chovexani]

29. LMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:yourock:

FIE UPON THEE!

[QC]

49. Thanks! n/t

[we can do it]

26. Bullshit.

.

[SIMPLYB1980]

27. Kick

[oasis]

31. The hispanic community will stand up and be counted....for Hillary.

You can take that to the bank.

[Barack_America]

33. Just not in Virginia...

Where Obama won the "Hispanic vote".

[tandem5]

34. NOOOOOO!! why have ya forsaken us!!?

I kinda hear a grounds keeper willie voice in that subject line...

[RememberWellstone]

35. Wrong.

I guessed they missed and few of friends who voted for her in Florida..we are white and in our 40's.

Hillary will be the "change" we need...we really don't need a rock star "experiment" (Obama) right now.

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. good luck with that........

:rofl:

[Jennos20]

37. So what you are trying to say for example is that

that the 2.3 million voters from California that voted for clinton are low income people and older white women? Some how I doubt that.

[BenDavid]

38. well gee, Bill has two grammy's and Hillary one and obama one

and that proves what exactly?

[TexasObserver]

39. Hillary is not done losing demos yet. It's extreme erosion.

going
going


GONE

[readmoreoften]

42. EW! WORKING CLASS WHITES AND WOMEN! EWWWWW!

Elitist tripe. Let's lose more working class whites to the Republicans. That's a fucking fantastic plan.

You also forgot Latinos. Maybe that's not a coincidence.

[Sapphocrat]

44. Well, sounds like you don't want my vote in November then. n/t

[Perry Logan]

47. The OP is a perfect example of "masturbatory gloating"--very big with wingers and Obamites.

That's why we love them.

[psychopomp]

48. Get your mind out of the gutter

:P I think too many people do have an attitude about politics that is similar to rooting for a favorite sports team. Winning is the goal and the total defeat of the other team is something to feel good about. I don't want to promote that attitude but I think Americans are like that...

Oh, heck, I hope this doesn't run counter what I just wrote, but....

GObama!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[dailykoff]

50. She's got the blue-haired hater vote locked up.

Call it Hilly's 29%. The rest peel off when they find out the real score.
