Riddle me this...

[RIROCKHOUND]

So,
I sit here w/ 10minutes, waiting for data to process and am dwelling on a conversation I had with a colleague.. We don't have an answer for it...

Why do rural, less educated voters tend to favor Obama, when they (Pillary and Obama) are both educated, wealthy lawyers? Both self-made, from less than stellar upbringings (They aren't Kennedy's).

I really don't have a frigging clue why? is it political? racial? something else?

I'm stumped...

At least you see that its less educated people that favor Obama,,,,just joking, serisuls though - Is that true for black and white rural, less educated voters. I'd like to see the racial breakdown.

Well, all the talking head jack-asses keep saying that rural, less educated voters support her (see KY, WV etc..) and more educated wealthier urbanites support him.

she is no less of an elitist upper class politician than him. I just don't understand...

[RIJIMMY]

One word then.....race

Sad as it is.

[RIJIMMY]

also the Wright stuff

and his lack of experience

and his wife's comments that she is not proud of America

[RIROCKHOUND]

Well,
I hope it isn't race, I'd like to think we had gotten past that...

I have to say he is taking the higher road.
How many people have forgotten all the skeletons in her/Bill's closet his side could be dragging out.

I've said it before, her being in the white house for 8 years as a first lady not experience! My wife works in cardiac rehab, I can't take a blood pressure or anything else she does...

And as far as his wife's comments, not more out of context than McCain's 100years in Iraq comment.

I agree. Im really uninspired by this year's candidates. I think McCain will win big unless he does or says something really stupid, which is possible.

I was just watching the news and they said Obama should win Oregon because the affluent people normally go towards Obama, so I have no clue, one day they say one thing the next its the exact opposite.

Clinton beat Obama across all age groups, income groups and education levels in Kentucky.

Eighty-nine percent of Tuesday's voters in Kentucky were white, according to the exit polls. Among them, Clinton won 72-22 percent. Nine percent of the voters were African-American and they overwhelmingly broke for Obama, 87-7 percent.

The exit polls from Kentucky also suggest a deep division among Democrats. Watch how Clinton's win could affect the race »

Two-thirds of Clinton's supporters there said they would vote Republican or not vote at all rather than for Obama, according to the polls.

Forty-one percent of Clinton supporters said they'd cast their vote for McCain, and 23 percent said they would not vote at all.

Just 33 percent said they would back Obama in the general election, according to the polls.

Those numbers are even worse for Obama than in West Virginia one week ago, where 36 percent of Clinton voters said they would back him in the fall.

RIJIm's conclusion: Many dems would rather vote Repub, than Obama. Thats basically unheard of, especially taking into consideration how awful things are under the Bush admin. Obama does not stand a chance against McCain

Funny how everyone went straight to the Race card.....what about Gender??

Obama against McCain seems like it would be a ....no contest.

more important to me is to have president Hillary retire.
