Obama and the white working class
The candidate's Pennsylvania remarks, and his passionate defense of them, are more convincing than the debate about them would have you believe.
Joan Walsh [2008-04-11]

  • This column....

    .....is begging for use of the "blockquote" tag.

    Anyway, this looks to set off some fireworks. I can already predict some of what's going to happen: People are going to build a narrative around what Obama said, trying to paint him as an elitist, as much as they possibly can get away with. Others will defend him, say "keep it in context," and it will go around and around.

    Just keep in mind that here you have Obama on one side, and McCain and Clinton on the other side. Interesting division there.
