An Obama supporter lashes out at political allies who've scorned Clinton's white working-class backers. It's worth reading.
  • BS

    We won't read this in Salon:

    h/t Andrew Sullivan:

    "Gary Langer, the director of polling at ABC, sorts through the numbers. Money quote:

    It’s fair for the Obama camp to point out that he doesn’t do significantly worse against McCain among working-class whites than Clinton does, and that he does better with their upscale counterparts. And Obama’s numbers are nothing like John Kerry’s and Al Gore’s; they lost working-class whites to George W. Bush by 24 points and 17 points, respectively.

    "

    And Salon, get it straight: racists are the scum of the earth - end of story - they shouldn't be coddled in any way. F*ck that, thank you very much. Barack will win despite them, and Walsh's nauseating posturing.
