I don't doubt your sincerity in your latest post. The problem that I have is your editorial policy. Whatever the debate is about who is most progressive or who is being the most nasty, the problem I have is the refusal to address the class issue.
Hilary has staked out a position which I think, is tied to her political contributions. That as it might be, how class is defined in terms of income level is an incredibly important point that you have seriously ignored. I can only chalk it up to a serious blind spot. It is the one point that distinguishes the two and causes much suspicion.
I think that Obama did so well in Indiana raises some very serious questions. Indiana is an incredibly red state and my experience lately is that given Obama came so close says more about class than gender. Racism is plenty strong in rural Indiana and yes many swing voters don't like Hilary, but the number of people who went to Obama that lived in the rural areas can't be discounted.
