CNN: Obama does very poorly among non-college graduate whites, older whites

[Herman Munster]

To Obama supporters, enjoy your victory but if this many white democrats are not ready for a black president, republicans sure as hell won't be.

Obama got 15% among white voters over 60

Obama got 17% among white voters without college education

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. Those numbers suck and spell general election DEFEAT

[Occam Bandage]

3. Know what really sucks, though? Hillary losing by 25 points.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

17. meh sucked for a half hour but better now

[Occam Bandage]

23. You're still clearly bitter. Give it a while yet.

[Colobo]

2. LOL! He lost among old school Dems and non educated voters?

That's flattering, actually!

[Occam Bandage]

4. "Obama lost the stupid and the Dixiecrats!"

How convincing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Was gonna say pretty much the same thing...

Not something to feel too bad about.

[krabigirl]

28. Hmmm...this college-educated white chick doesn't believe the "hope" hype.

[Occam Bandage]

29. If you were in SC, you'd be in the distinct minority.

[Herman Munster]

8. what the fuck do you think the national electorate is?

Older voters and non educated voters.

How the fuck do you think Bush got elected twice or at least got close to the margin of stealing?

[Colobo]

15. You sound angry, Herman. Enjoy this beautiful night.

[loveangelc]

19. LOL are you proud that the non-educated supported your candidate more?

[Occam Bandage]

24. I suppose if "we can convince the stupid to vote for us" is your consolation prize...

[aquart]

11. So I guess the elitist is Obama.

The working class votes for Hillary.

And now you can sneer at the working class. What a fine generation you are.

[Colobo]

20. Working class doesn't equal uneducated.

And "educated" doesn't equal "elitist".

[tammywammy]

30. Honey, I'm college educated and working class

Educated doesn't equate elitist.

[Benhurst]

14. "Old School" Democrats left the party ages ago.

Did you ever hear of Strom Thurmond?

[cali]

5. find your consolation where you can. I don't begrudge you that

it's a little sad in fact.

[aquart]

12. Oh, yeah. You do.

[AlCzervik]

6. good lord Herman can't you just let him have this win tonight?

you have plenty of time between now and super tuesday to us all how whitey won't vote for him.

[ellisonz]

7. I heard he's a muslim but doesn't want to talk about it.

:sarcasm:

[zulchzulu]

9. Is the Knucklehead Brigade ready for a woman president?

They don't vote anyway. Fuck 'em.

[TomClash]

13. On a night like tonight there is only one explanation for this post

- and it's an ugly one.

Congratulations Barack!

[Barack_America]

16. I'm getting the sense that Herman Munster isn't ready for a black president.

You keep mentioning this so much regarding America's feelings that I'm getting the feeling that it's also your own.

Just saying.

[ellisonz]

22. Don't take him too seriously.

He's most likely a cloistered, misfit, white kid from Long Island.

[WillyT]

18. He Did Poorly With The Dumb, White, Geezers ???

Shocking!

:rofl:

[tammywammy]

21. DU never fails to amaze me

:wow:

[DURHAM D]

25. I am tired of this "without college education" and uneducated shit.

That is right wing speak. This is the first election cycle where I have heard them referred to in this manner.

Without college education and uneducated are working class and blue-collar. They are the party base.

This term is insulting and any Obama fan celebrating the dumb ignorant uneducated voters should be ashamed. As we go into Super Tuesday you should really think about who your candidate is not appealing to.

[Fenris]

26. That's not what those statistics say at all.

The implication is that Hillary Clinton did better among non-college graduates and people over 60. That doesn't mean they won't vote for Obama in the general election. Nor does it have anything to do with his race.

[Jane Austin]

27. "Obama got 15% among white voters over 60"

Time's gonna take care of some of that - and I say that as a person in that age group.

[Egnever]

32. Snarf!

LOL you made me spit my coke!

Thanks for that!

31. Recent blog post about Obama '08

I found this article (http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Is_Obama_Edwards_the_Best_Shot_for_the_Democrats_in_08) just a few seconds ago on Digg about what Obama can do to secure more of the White Vote as well as who might be his running mate in '08.

[Czolgosz]

33. i.e., Obama did very poorly among the majority of Democrats. He's done.
