>>> "James Heartfield"

What comes across to me, looking in from over here, is that Hilary Clinton had a point about the Obama supporters - they just don't like working class people, and they have a visceral reaction against anyone who is not educated and connected.

^^^ CB: Here you fall into the same racist trap as Clinton. You and she forget or ignore all those "hardworking", working class Black people supporting Obama. A higher percentage of Black people are working class than white people; and 90+ % of Black people support Obama. Obama is also winning the Hispanic vote, which is largely working class.

So, Obama supporters _do_ "like" working class people, contrary to your impression. Not only that . A huge percentage of Obama's white supporters are working class. On this issue, you are espousing a current big lie of American politics: the Republicans "like" working class people, and the Dems don't.

^^^

Campaigns tend to draw out such weaknesses, and that is not good news for Obama.
