(Article) From his mini-amnesty pitch to Hispanics, his support of gay marriage and his “identity” comments on the death of a black youth, to his turning contraception into a wedge issue, President Obama is shaping his electoral path to victory with identity politics.

If Hillary were president and nobody had heard of Obozo, she would be doing the identical thing with this bad economy.

Remember, the Klintonx taught Barry this crap, not the other way around.

If northern suburbanites and young professionals turn, then he is doomed to a huge loss. And persuadable voters such as Coulson are looking for a compelling reason to abandon him; divisive rhetoric is turning them off*, and economics is only half the story.

The writer is a northern, urban-burban neo-con desperate for a path to the White House for a non-Southern, non-conservative candidate that does not include the white South -- whose people she despises even more than she does Obama's Marxism-Leninism or race politics.

You let the cat out of the bag, sweetie.

* This is code for conservative campaign themes and memetically conservative arguments, which include Obama's credentials and hidden background, Obama's associations (Van Jones, Eric Holder, Ayers and Dohrn, Shirley Sherrod, Man's Country, the Muslim Brotherhood), Obama's sharp-elbow politics, and his ideologically hidebound and racist policies. Good luck with that -- "breaking the box" (the "Finkelstein box") almost always means a 'Rat victory. You want to "break the box" -- and win with your Yacht-Clubber anyway! Like I said, good luck with that.

You lost me. I believe she comes from Pittsburgh or thereabouts from a working class family. She often covers "The Rust Belt" and Appalachia. I read the author anytime she is linked at RealClearPolitics.com. Where have you seen an animus against southern whites?

"White voters make up a majority of the electoral pie, and white Democrats in the middle- to low-income working class are the soul of that coalition. In 2008, white voters without college degrees made up nearly 40 percent of all voters.

"In the 2010 midterm election, when Republicans crushed Democrats up and down the ballot nationally, less than 33 percent of the white working class voted for House Democrats – a record low.

"The latest Gallup in-depth poll shows only 43 percent of white 18- to 29-year-olds plan to vote for Obama, down 9 points from the 52 percent backing him in 2008; his support is down 9 points among postgraduate women, too."

When she has the numbers, she'll include a demographic analysis. The rats are toast with the white working class, if not the party, at least Obama, IMHO, but the rats may have finally doomed themselves with the white working class by its embrace of radical environmentalism. It's a bread and butter issue now if your family works in the coal, oil, natural gas and power industries.
