Barack is not leading in African American Voters or Educated Liberal voters.
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 05:48 PM by Botany
He is leading in Americans who have voted in the Democratic
Primaries up to now. Ever since he kicked ass in Virginia and
Wisconsin with all voters there has been a huge push to
split his support by Hillary and the right wing using race,
relegion, class, and bald faced lies. Now according to
MSNBC's Chuck Todd it is over but some people have a vested
interest in seeing this crap keep going on and on.

4. ABSOLUTELY! He's isn't the black candidate, she's the WHITE candidate!
He's getting both black AND white votes; she's getting predominantly
WHITE votes. Remind me again, who's the "ethnic" candidate?

5. "game the system"
That is why there is such a push back on Barack when he calls
out the bullshit such as the politics of distraction that right
has lived by for so long. When he calls out Fox, Rush, and company
they get scared and have to hit back hard ... "San Fransisco speech
and he doesn't like the Bible."

17. Yeah, I've been chuckling at the M$M's kvetching about Obama failing to reach certain demos ...
... when it is equally obvious that Clinton has bigger problems, and bigger GE electability problems.

I'm just waiting for Obama to cross the elected pledged delegate majority line. I expect supers will start coming out, at that point.

21. Right!
First it was, "no one will vote for Obama."

Then, "Blacks won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Whites won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Educated whites won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Southern whites won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "White men won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Blue collar white men won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Blue collar white men who live in the suburbs won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Blue collar white men between 25 and 50 won't vote for Obama." wrong
Then, "Blue collar white men between the ages of 25 and 30 won't vote for Obama." wrong

Soon we'll be down to, "Earl won't vote for Obama."

22. Hillary and Obama are equal in the Democratic and Independent vote right now.
It is the Rethug vote that is putting Obama over the top right now. Hillary will have more combined Democrat and Independent votes by the time the primary process is over.

26. Exactly!
If they say he's only winning because of African American support or "liberal" support alone, they're clearly forgetting about states like the oens you just named (not to mention Iowa). It's disgusting how the media generalizes whole groups of people like that in the first place..but it's obvious that they want to see this go on continously because they feel it increases their ratings. They are so transparent, it isn't even funny.
