Appeals to "less educated" whites and older hispanics; black vote suppression -- SOUNDS FAMILIAR??
It should. It is textbook republican strategy to win swing states such as Fl, OH, PA.

It is ironic to see who is playing that game now.

Dems have never really been able to effectively counter that game.

Obama's challege is to bring that jolly game to an end.

1. So BO's appeal is to "more educated" whites, those who despise religion but place their FAITH in BO
and chant their mantra, "HOPE, CHANGE, . . . , HOPE, CHANGE".

2. Strawman attack does not change facts
Hillary campaign strategy is same as republican -- including insinuation of "fear appeals" and not so subtle religious and ethnic prejudice appeals

3. If you turn it around she has the uneducated
dumb ones voting for her?? what does that mean...people who watch 10 hours a day of sitcoms while eating and drinking, don't pay attention to politics except the ads before their shows.

If you want to put forth change in this country you need educated people who know how to change with you following you.

What does clinton have following her?? a bunch of sheep and women who are voting for her simply because she is a woman or because she is Bill's wife.

5. Uneducated does not translate to dumb or stupid. Many are
uneducated because they are poor. You seem to imply that her supporters don't work but "watch 10 hours a day of sitcoms while eating and drinking". Much of her support comes from the working poor, not a "bunch of sheep and women".

You need to educate yourself.

14. Wrong. Clinton does not win the poor, but the less educated - many of whom do quite well

4. yeah, it's tough to spin lack of education as a positive...
But if it gives you the chance to take a poke at Obama, it just figures that you'd try.

6. What the fuck are you talking about?
Where was this done, other than in your tiny little mind...God, you people are nothing but pathtic...if someone doesn't like BO, there's something wrong with that person, if he loses a primary, the process is flawed.
