Just maybe blue collar whites don’t want to vote for a black man who attended a church where hate of white people and our country is expressed vehemently. Obama’s message says one thing, his associations with Wright and Ayers says another. Add to that the remarks of his wife. Just maybe they don’t want to fall for the old bait and switch.
Agreed…
Obama , the “post-racial candidate” has not offered a satisfactory explanation for why he voluntarily associated with a church and pastor who don’t have nice things to say about white people.
IMO the quote in post #8 concurs
Additionally, the white blue collar workers generally have “skill jobs”, which means they are more likely to have a HS education, GED or military experience. They may also resent people who degrade them (HRC does the same thing).
As opposed to Katrina types who have spent their lives on welfare, at least since the war on poverty began under LBJ.
