AnaHadWolves asks:
"How will Barack Obama win the general election if he CAN'T attract the very voters that Hillary Clinton IS winning...from middle-age to older women and men, blue-collar workers to Latinos?"
One could ask exactly the same question of Clinton. And when one does so, one should note that the voters she cannot win, namely the Obama supporters, constitute a larger group of people.
The way the Democratic party works is this: the majority (roughly speaking) decides who the candidate is. You have an opinion that differs from what the majority things.
Personally, I would find it extremely hard to vote with somebody who equates "hard-working Americans" with "white Americans". For years the Clintons have made political hay by playing both sides off against each other. But at some point, some tactics are just beyond the pale.
