108. Absolutely right. I'm a person and a Democrat.
Prick me and I bleed. Call me a freeper and I retaliate.

Obama can be a little aloof, but it's not a huge problem. To be honest, I don't see Obama as elitist as much as (in the absence of strong union support) I see him tapping into an urban/suburban upper-middle-class activist base that most definitely is and is disproportionately represented here.

I'll absolutely vote for Obama if he's the nominee, but I won't be any less critical of the 28% of DU Obama supporters who think that Hillary should take her 15 million voters to the Republican party. (I didn't make up that stat, btw)
