"Clearly Obama trotted Edwards out today to change the conversation from the trouncing West Virginia handed him. More importantly, Superdelegates and the reality community realize that Obama has a big problem with white working class voters. So today Obama trotted out John Edwards to try to communicate with white working class voters. Obama wants to woo the white working class by proxy........John Edwards as ambassador from Obama to the white working class will be as successful as ambassador Ted Kennedy when he was sent to woo the Latino community.........A Hillary victory in Kentucky will demonstrate to Superdelegates, again, that white working class voters will not vote for Obama - no matter how many circus attractions Obama sends out on his behalf.
"...that white working class voters will not vote for Obama..."
Or, as Obama might call them ... "typical white" people clinging to guns and religion and disliking folk who look different. Of course, you could say the same of Jeremiah Wright.
Ohh ... "Jeremiah," that reminds me of a song...
