KateTex says "I have lots of friends, both male and female, who have at least an undergraduate degree, and a predominance of masters and PhDs. All of them are Clinton voters, complete Obama skeptics. Also, far as I know, Clinton still has the edge with white women. And though this may be accidental, your post has a ring of class prejudice to it, not to mention the usual soupcon of implied racial prejudice among blue collar whites." end of KateTex quote
I too have a lot of friends, both male and female, of all races - not just white - with a predominance of masters, but mostly with PhDs. ALL of them voted for Obama, complete Clinton skeptics. You accuse Panatala of class prejudice which in my judgement is not much different from you own brand of class and race prejudice when you accuse Obama supporters of nothing more than mesmorized children following the pied piper over the cliff. This is a continued Hillary ridicule that is now wearing thin and which many of her supporters like yourself who are also mouthing. And why is it OK for white women to vore for a white woman and not OK forblack men and women to vote for Obama? Why this double standard that you constantly imply in your posts?
I will be the first one to tell you that college degrees do not guarantee sanity, and those not having college degrees does not mean that they do not have common sense.
You have a propensity to mock. Are you suggesting that people who have endorsed Obama, such as Toni Morrison, Garrison Keillor, Alice Walker, Lani Guineer, Joycelene Elders, Robert Reich, former Clinton operatives, The Nation, and tons of major editorial endorsements, are doing so because they are in thrall of a hypnotic Rasputin and therefore have left their brains in some liquid solution?
And now the fear mongering with the nefarious ad on TV. Is this an act of an intelligent and compassionate woman or of one who has to win at all costs, the last gasp of a dynastic climber?
