It is the Obama camp which is writing off huge portions of the Democratic base, saying it will win by appealing to young, more educated, more affluent voters in traditionally red states.
I live in a state that has voted Democratic in the last two presidential election cycles but whose voters were stereotyped as bitter people who cling to guns and Gods, by a candidate who didn't spend much time talking to us.
We will see in November how his strategy works. If I am wrong in thinking it's a recipe for disaster, I will be the first to admit my error.
In the meantime, I hope Sen. Obama makes his case to voters like me who want to hear less about "change" and more about specific ideas.
