Reply #7: My OP has nothing to do with racism. If you want to know what I believe: [View All]

And unfortunately, neither Hillaryites nor Obama "base" student voters
will accept this because they have bought into the "working class whites
are obsolete and ignorant" meme, for instance, here's another yuppie
on DKos:

...i'm in tidewater and my impression is VA will go for obama no problem. the think about VA is that it isn't one of these old style, old coalition democrat states. we don't have tons of working class whites voting for democrats here. virginia, instead, presaged obama's coalition of middle-class educated whites and blacks. and so i think that heavily favors obama.

Here's a Daily Kos poster with whom I actually agree.

Here's what's really going on with Clinton that anti-working class, post-New Deal student Obamaites refuse to recognize:

In Texas, an Obama vote is cast Twice...

First, in the Primary, and anyone registered to vote by Feb 4th in any party can vote because There is No Party ID.... you simply walk up to the poll and declare which ballot you'll take.  When you register you don't declare a party... so R's and I's can vote in this open primary.  Though you have to be registered before hand.</p>

Second, only those who voted earlier can vote again by participating in the Caucus. Hillary's support tends to be less informed Name Rec and/or Female Solidarity Vote... the demographics prove that some portion of her vote is simply voting on Incumbent and/or name rec, especially among older Latinos who may have limited accessibility to English Language news due to language barriers. These same Hillary voters who help her win California Primaries may forgo a Caucus the same night...

Obama's vote however will engage in both processes because of superior Grassroots strength. It's just an inherent advantage to Obama voters who trend more informed and organized than Hillary's.

Obama carried Idaho, Minnesota, Kansas and N. Dakota caucus by huge 2-1 margins because of his demo trends, and Hillary won close Primaries because of the ease of a Primary...

Now combine that with the duel process where you vote early then have to spend and hour or two that night caucusing and you have an intensive commitment factory, and intensity gap that Obama can overcome.

Texans for Obama know this and our supporters will be informed and organized to be sure to Vote Early and then come back to vote Often.
