jawnbcWell that pretty much sums up about 2/3 of my family--except the 'rents, who are Conservatives (not even Republicans). Pennsylvania rather starkly underlines my experience with working class, 2nd+ generation Catholic Americans. Watch those rich bastards, protect our jobs, but easy on the social progress. As one politician in Canada called it, the Timmmy's (Hortons) vs the Starbucks crowd.
They won't vote for Obama for the most part. Not because he's black, but because he's the most left-leaning viable Democratic presidential nominee since George McGovern.
Go on, nominate him. Then just toss the keys to Pennsylvania Avenue over to McCain....

Date: 2008-04-24 06:38 am (UTC)You make good points, you confused me at the end. Are you saying that it would be more expedient for the American Democratic party to nominate Hillary Clinton to run against McCain, or do you think it doesn't matter who gets the Democrat nomination cause it's going to McCain anyway, or are you just commenting (blustering :-) on things?
Just curious on your "take".
