Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Is Obama's coalition just "eggheads and African-Americans"? Is Clinton's emphasis on "Joe and Jane Sixpack" excluding black blue-collar Democrats? A frank exchange of views on CNN.
  • Return of the Egghead

    I haven't heard the term "egghead" widely used in decades, but have read of it being used twice recently by Clinton supporters. Why are Democrats saying disparaging things about smart people? Aren't we supposed to encourage education and intelligence? Is the perception that there aren't enough "eggheads" (college graduates?) to make a difference in the general election? This distrust of and disdain for educated voters is disturbing.
