I'm a white male...and I'm voting for Obama.
I hear that the only demographic that Obama is trailing in is white men. But they always tend to vote republican anyway.

Not this white dude.

GOBAMA!!!

43. As progressives we reject this stupidity
of breaking up everyone into these little categories and trying to divide them up and treat them like simple building blocs. It's just so stupid and dehumanizing.
The one good thing out of this WSJ poll is that it explodes the MSMs stupid meme about Hispanics not voting for a Black man, fooey on those bastards for that.

3. White Male, Blue Collar
and Union. I am voting for Obama. Not my first choice (that was DK), but I hope in the long run the best choice for all of us.

9. I'm thinking just white guys....
sorry ladies.

But we are the only demographic he trails in. As a group...we might be able to sway a few other white guys. Though all my white male friends are voting for Obama (at least the ones I've talked to).

18. Traitor!
:sarcasm:

If we (working class white males) were to emulate the principles modeled by some, we'd put our own self-interest and demographic kinship above and beyond any and all interests that don't put us first in line. After all, isn't it STUPID to let the specific interests of working class white males take a back-seat to the narrower interests of other demographic groups? Sure it is. We shoud vote our crotch AND skin, right? Uh-huh.

22. Another white male here...
I'm also a Christian and from uber conservative south Alabama.

The media has told me that Obama can't win my vote. In return, I tell them to screw themselves.

I'm white and that's pretty damn boring. And as a white male, I thought I was supposed to have everything handed to me. Did somebody not get the memo?

36. No, not "Casper."
However, in HS the girl of my dreams at the time shot me down when I asked her out, saying I looked like the guy who was the leader of KC and the Sunshine Band.

Who's whiter than he is?

I scoff at you, sir, and grab my belt back. ;)

41. Small town, southern white male with Obama yard signs and bumper stickers
As far as I know, I'm the only house/vehicle in town promoting a current national candidate. Lots of stuff for candidates running for local offices and there are a surprising number of vehicles still sporting "Bush/Cheney" stickers, but nothing for McCain. I know my Obama sign stood out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood because a couple of people commented to my sister who lives next door after it went up. I haven't had any comments to me directly, though I did get flipped on the interstate driving through Tennessee. :)

We as a party for many years may not of captured a large chunk of all dempgrahics but we sure can work on it.
