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.

@ Kate

One more thing, Kate. I can appreciate that you've been under siege. This was why I was trying to talk directly to you and why I asked Tom to give us the space to do so.

Again, I can only ask that you take me at my word when I say that I'm not here to accuse or convict you. Whether I think you're a racist or not or harbor racial animosities or not or however you might want to put it, should be beside the point.

You're welcome to think what you want about me and I, likewise, will promise to try not to become offended to the point of shutting down dialogue.
