Indeed. Perhaps, Billy, if she had hired you as her communications director, she'd be in a better spot right now.

You continue to make this claim despite it being refuted. Voters with an income less than $50,000: Clinton, 50.11%; Obama, 49.89%. If you believe that a difference of 0.21% implies a vast anything, perhaps that explains some of the other instances of fuzzy math.
If you'd like to offer an alternate gauge of "working class" other than income, please do so. With cold, hard, numbers.
Otherwise, either acknowledge that they are virtually tied in working-class support, or clarify where you see a discrepancy.

Elizabeth Edwards has specifically noted the one proposal of Hillary's that she's approved: health care. I have not heard her speak out on economic proposals, foreign policy, education, or any other issue. Additionally, it remains to be seen who John Edwards will support.

Nope, no edit or delete functions yet, but they are reputedly on their way.
As far as the whole voting for Bush thing goes, I get that this kind of shows him as a liar, but not voting for Bush seems like a good thing to me...

Billy, if you're going to perpetuate the myth that Obama cannot win over working class voters despite the information I presented below, which clearly shows that they are virtually tied among voters making less than $50,000/year; then you are going to have to clarify your statement to say either what you really mean, or where the actual discrepancy lies: she's winning a larger portion of white working class voters.

Billy,
My overall point in expressing those numbers is that I think Obama's "problem" with the working class has been slightly over-exaggerated. However, I do think he will need to work hard to get those votes, but that any Democrat should pursue various routes to the White House, including expanding the electorate and bringing in new voters, as well as appealing to Independents.Secondly, both candidates would face challenges in various ways if they become the nominee. But I honestly believe that the Democrats are right on the issues, and in agreement with the vast majority of all Americans at this point in time.
It's going to be a great fight.
