What is interesting Miss Marple is what all those working class Democrats who will not go vote this fall do to the Congressional races.
Don’t be surprised if Not ONLY Does McCain win easily, but the Republicans re-take the house.
If Obama gets the nomination I look for him to go after Ted Strickland who Ohio’s Governnor as his running mate. No one has won the presidency with out winning Ohio in the last 144 years. So if Obama gets the nomination,then look for him to select Strickland as his running mate. That will not help Obama in Ohio, but it could very well cost Strickland his second term as governor.
The elite left was totally unaware of men like Rev Wright. But white working class Democrats were well aware and have been for decades. They fear Obama and they will do what it takes to defeat Obama and his party.
CT, I think your assessments may well prove correct. Some friends of ours recently visited and they are both yellow-dog democrats, liberal to the core. (We’ve known them for many many years)
Anyway, they are as sick of the Clinton’s as they are of the Bush’s. And Obama was never mentioned as a possibility for them. They intend to vote McCain and the main thing they don’t like about McCain is his pro-life position. Of course. Sigh.....
MM, if you post to Howlin, please give her my congratulations and my best. She’s one of many good and talented FReepers we lost in what bore out to be an unnecessary purge. IMO.
Good morning everybody. I will finish up my window washing project today and go over to a friends house later for an evening of “Horse Races”.
