It doesn't matter whether whites in SC or AL or TX or ID will vote for Obama, only if whites in OH, PA, FL, MI will. In the last two elections, a few more votes in FL or OH -- or less shenanigins -- would have changed the result. That's the Electoral College for you. As much as Obama is a potential uniter who could bring progressive-agenda changes by having broad popular support, it still comes down to those 271 electoral votes and the 3 or 4 swing states.
I have to agree with Rush, who said Hilary reminds men of their nagging first wives. I'm not saying that's fair, just that it may be true for millions of white skinned, blue collared Reagan Democrats.
