Von Hoffmann Award Nominee III
"This year's primary results show no sign that Obama will reverse this
trend should he win the nomination. In West Virginia and Kentucky, as
well as Ohio and Pennsylvania, blue collar white voters sent him down
to defeat by overwhelming margins. A recent Gallup poll report has
argued that claims about Obama's weaknesses among white voters and
blue collar voters have been exaggerated - yet its indisputable
figures showed Obama running four percentage points below Kerry's
anemic support among whites four years ago... Given that Obama's vote in the primaries, apart from
African-Americans, has generally come from affluent white suburbs and
university towns, the Gallup figures presage a Democratic disaster
among working-class white voters in November should Obama be the
nominee," - Sean Wilentz, Clinton tool, May 23, 2008.
