Sorry but a lot of these white working class voters do have some serious racial "concerns" with Obama. There are the Muslim rumors, Rev. Wright, his comments about religion/guns, etc.

Kerry was at least part of the establishment and knew how to kiss their ass to get them to deliver these votes. Obama has really risked that in places like Philadelphia.

We have these conversations all the time though and they're getting tiring. At this point, we really should just wait and see how things are a week or two out.

these same voters had concerns with Kerry speaking French, having been educated at a French boarding school, having a wife who looked and acted like a space alien, and flip-flopping.

I'm sorry but that's not as controversial as anything I mentioned.

Kerry also came across as a snob. You may argue that Obama does too, but that feeling isn't to anywhere near the same degree. He wins the "who I'd like to have a beer contest" vs McCain. Kerry lost it badly with Bush.

Obama is seen as almost as much as a snob, in my opinion.

No one cares about the White working class in politics. If you have money you get what you want and if you are a minority you get special privileges as well but if you are poor working class and white than you are screwed.

Haven't really got to know you yet, BUT..... Yeah there are times I think you're right.  Add being overweight, male and average height (unless you're a Kennedy then you become a Senator)  You get discriminated against and no one cares hell it's even highly supported.  Even our own women want to now get with men of color at the clubs nowadays.  And it's not just one club or me for that matter.  I'm starting to think young white women want to piss off their parents or something.  I hate being racist, but these black dudes act so cocky about it you just want to hit some of them.  My inner Rizzocrat was boiling after last weekend.  Should I change my avatar to (I)? I really am confused sometimes and I have to admit this last election gave me the spins at times.

....  whipps out the Confederate Flag with States........

Ok, not yet, but I'm starting to think that there are people who think that we have to take shots at the white male to makeup for past discrimination and would hate to think that Obama's election is now causing black men to be more aggressive around white women.  I'm not saying all black men but I find some of them think whites are soft and can be pushed around.  If I were to have a bout of jungle fever and go to a black club like SOLO and do the same thing, I know I'd get my ass whooped handily.  Amazingly, I rarely see black women at some places I go, but see a lot of black men looking for white women.

I voted for Obama... want out of Iraq.... no more Bush policies..  holds nose.

And you were branding me the closet racist awhile ago...
