The White Working Class Buzz

The media talks often about the white working class in reference to Barack Obama and his ability to win enough voters in November. First, there are many white working class people who won't necessarily admit it, but would pick a white over a black period. In this politically correct world we live in, most people would be afraid to say this publicly.

Second, where Obama does not do well is in the southern states which are more prone to dislike blacks to begin with. Some of these people think the south will rise again. Some may not like hearing this, but if you don't live in a cave you know this is true.

Third, he does well in urban areas which are generally democratic and does not do well in rural areas which are republican. Now you don't need to be a political analysis to figure this out. Its this simple.

Now if you were to remove the Clinton factor which those experts seem to never think of, Barack would suddenly have a much higher number of voters in his corner. And to assume that they all would defect to McCain is nuts. If you really are a demo, you will vote a demo because you believe in their principles.

So what does all this mean? Obama first needs to win his party's endorsement which it seems he will. Once the dust settles, then he needs to connect with democratic base and it looks like its bigger then ever. The media never seems to bring this up but the voter counts are right on the screen. The democrats are getting twice the votes the republicans are.

This spells bad news for the republicans come November and they know it. The people have finally begun to wake up! But the right wing will do everything and anything to win.

I believe Bush cut a backroom deal with his oil friends the Arabs. Come election time you watch the gas prices drop at the pump. Their hoping we'll forget how they screwed us for so long, and don't be surprised if we attack Iran somehow. Its all part of the plan to retain power.
