Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    @KateTex on TomPayne

    Wow, KateTex, you put a lot of work into researching Tom Payne's various anti-Clinton insults.

    Payne is not the best example of civility. Some people are anal-retentive. He is anal-expulsive. But I find his style amusing. (Admittedly, it would be much less so if it were directed at Obama.) On the plus side, Payne usually has intelligent points to make when he's not calling Clinton a cackler.
