"Why Can't Obama Connect With Blue Collar Workers?"

Blue Collar Workers my ass.

1. What I never understood is why Hillary CAN.

Or is that a media generated myth?

Amazing how she magically became a populist when it was convenient. Yet if you look at her past statements and associations, she's about as pro-worker as I am pro-war:

4. PR

It works.

[Labors of Hercules]

7. Maybe because a lot of them don't like black people?

If you want to be perfectly honest.

[BlooInBloo]

13. The antics of America are SO mysterious to those who deny racism exists - hahahaha!

It's funny watching them conjure up hair-brained theories and post-facto explanations for things tho - A+ for creativity!

[Coexist]

20. lol

[HughBeaumont]

32. I wish I could say that was false . . . in 2008 and all . . .

. . . but I'd be wrong. :(

[Romulox]

15. She wins them by default. John McCain may as well, if Obama refuses to speak to their issues...nt

[Jawja]

31. Because they will vote

Repug in the GE. That's how they can vote for Clinton in the Primary.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. Somebody beat his ass yesterday.

[JackORoses]

3. Somebody's campaign will go down like the Hindenburg in 2 weeks

Enjoy the time in between, this is the best Hillarites will feel from now unto eternity.
Because Hillary will never be going back to the White House.
Not now, not ever.
;)

5. 3. Somebody's campaign will go down like the Hindenburg in 2 weeks

6. Gratuitous racism charges from Obama supporters after Hillary win?

Check.

This is getting old.

[chitty]

14. Actually, what

I am saying is that if Barack were white, Hillary would have been done months ago.

Not racism, the truth.

Period.

[2rth2pwr]

17. You are accusing white blue-collar workers of being racists.

[Barack_America]

22. Interesting that you made that association all on your own.

But there's no truth to that, right?

[2rth2pwr]

24. *Wink* Wink*

[Jamastiene]

8. Obama hates poor people. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

9. What are you really trying to say... ?

[barack the house]

10. Its crazy ain't it they divide people by color to divide folk & then say like no AAs are blue collar

[ej510]

12. Black people are lazy. I hear this term used against us all

of the time.

[knixphan]

11. hmmm...

[gatorboy]

16. Blue Collar Workers is apparently code these days for racist voters.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Bingo! Much like "the silent majority" and "Reagan Democrats".

[SoCalDem]

19. and the "Southern Strategy" (Nixon)

How pathetic that Hillary latched onto it like a baby at a nipple..

[wowimthere]

21. I agree ... this is spin... word use... talking points...

He's speaking unity and hope and everyone who wants to decry positive talk are war mongers, hatemongers and blue collar workers. I guess "Regan dems and blue collar workers" don't want hope?

[On the Road]

23. I Actually Think What's Just as Important as Race

is Obama's image among certain people as a white-collar metrosexual elitist, or something like that. Probably the same sort of people who had a problem with Edwards.

Not denying that race is an issue. There are just things that seem perfectly fine to me that may strike other voters differently.

[Barack_America]

26. Yep. I've always found it interesting how masculinity and bigotry so often go hand-in-hand

It was sentiments like that which made me flee my hometown and not look back the same month I turned 18.

[On the Road]

27. I Hate to Quote Chris Matthews,

but his "too debonaire, too Fred Astaire, too kumbayah" has an element of truth.

[chitty]

28. Sorry...........

I guess I never bought into the "elitist" argument.

These people are looking for "ins" if you know what I mean.

[FlyingSquirrel]

25. Yes, "Blue Collar" = "Redneck White Male"

We all know it.

[lynne]

29. If any demographic voting for Hillary is racist -

- the flip side of the coin is that any demographic voting for Obama is sexist. Not a very flattering picture, IMO.

[chitty]

30. I don't think so Tim
