Hope for Change
I never quite understood why or how Hillary Clinton could project herself as a 'woman of the people' when she has just returned a huge tax return. Clearly she's fabulously wealthy. Anyway, here Mike Madden at Salon suggests how Obama can win back the iniative, break the gridlock and become the first black President:
"Over the last two months, the notion that Barack Obama can't win enough support from white working-class voters has been a key point of debate in the Democratic presidential race. After Rust Belt victories for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, and then in Pennsylvania, gave her flagging campaign new life, Clinton aides had new ammunition for the spin battle. "I think Democrats do have questions about whether or not [Obama] is going to be able to reach out and successfully win over the kind of blue-collar voters that Democrats need to win in order to take the White House back in November," Clinton strategist Howard Wolfson reiterated on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
But that's not what Wolfson was saying back in February, when Obama clobbered Clinton by 17 points in Wisconsin, another state whose largely white, working-class demographics should have made it Clinton country." Full article here.
