On the generation gap , and in self-criticism, my son told me this morning, he was troubled by my overly forceful opinion on affirmative action, somewhat like Dwayne's criticisms of my opinions on Obama. I accept your criticism , Dwayne.

A big problem with the white votes Obama is getting is a significant male supremacist aspect to them. A white vote for Obama is tainted if it is sexist. I think the data is implying that there is a significant chauvinist bloc in his white votes. I don't recall Dwayne saying that , but it supports his discomfort with Obamania.

Obama is getting too many white votes :>). Now that's really new. Geez he's predicted to win three more primaries. Clinton is changing campaign managers. We need a better poem than the last one from Maya Angelou.

Some rightwingers ( except for Ann Coulter ) have been signalling this by supporting Obama, and their target is the nomination, whereas I was thinking about the November election.

Instead of reiterating the list's Clinton critiques, I'm trying to think of pro-Clinton propaganda, because she's the stronger candidate for the ultimate election. I understand how the list has much criticism of Clinton, the history of the long campaign, Clintonism etc., but rather than trying to back track to supporting her indirectly by criticizing Obama, best to emphasize her strengths, even though she's a Democrat.
