3. Obama: the "unifying" candidate of elitists?
Less educated doesn't necessarily mean less politically informed. Working folk are the base of our party and have been since the days of Jefferson and Jackson.

Obama is following in the footsteps of Dean and Bradley in being the so-called "latte liberal" candidate. Both Dean and Bradley generated a lot of excitement but ultimately combined to win one primary.
