My own theory is that the reason for the insane frenzy of wingnuts screeching about Hilary is: <i>They all want to have sex with her, and they all know that she never, ever, will.</i> Ummm… “gigolo”?

The key word here is WORKING CLASS, (or rather HARD WORKING). The only reason that the word White is included is because Obama is getting the votes of one sub-set of the working class. Blacks. But non-blacks are running away from him in _increasing_ numbers as time goes by. Think about that for a bit. If Obama's failure to win non-black working class voters is because of race, then what does it mean that he went from pulling almost 40% of non-black (democrats) in the early states, to barely 30% now. Have we gotten dramatically more racist in the last few months? Or is it because as we get to know him his lack of any positive message FOR WORKING CLASS VOTERS becomes more and more apparent? This would be obvious if blacks were voting their class intererests, but since they seem to be mostly voting their racial pride the fact that Obama has a problem with the working class is easly spun as racism. Shame on you for joining in with that dishonest and divisive smear. You, and most of the other Obama supporters are missing the point. The key word here is WORKING CLASS, (or rather HARD WORKING).

Imagine the media finding some middle-aged woman in Peoria saying "well, on one hand, my nephew got injured by an IED in Iraq, and he's now paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of his life, and it does concern me that Hillary supported the war that hurt him so bad, and seems like she wants to go after Iran too. I still support her over Barack, though, because I'm post-sexual and I identify with her like that." Can you imagine the putative “real Americans” talking like this?
