25. distortion
to say that Hillary is the candidate of the working class vs Obama --is a gross distortion.

Hillary does seem to have a following among lower income people, esp women who vote Dem, but she has plenty of support from the more well off. And "the majority" of Obama supporters are not "6 figures," I'd be willing to bet. All those younger folks? Really? Not the ones I know. None of the people I know supporting Obama make anywhere near 6 figures, in fact.

I seriously doubt that Barack Obama considers working class people uneducated and stupid.

The champion of the less educated and less wealthy in this campaign year is obviously John Edwards. But it doesn't mean that Obama lacks concern for them or that Hillary has suddenly become the poor person's
only choice.

Why do you buy such nonsense?
