Chicago Tribune Excerpt:Just call Obama supporters.... smart. Cable News channels summarize this poll often. Yet hardly ever attempt to divide the GOP constituency with the same level of profiling for McCain or Huckabee supporters. They seem to be more concerned about who’s more conservative, a laughably backwards and phony label carrying less and less meaning and weight for American right-wing political philosophy.
Meanwhile, in one recent national poll, Obama won college-educated voters by more than 20 percentage points. And in Connecticut, where Obama won by a small margin, he dominated among those with college degrees, beating Clinton by 17 percentage points.
Chicago Tribune Excerpt:Fair enough. But when Obama drew optimistic parallels between himself and the trajectory of the union-busting Reagan presidency – that pretty much nullified any effect Clinton could have presented against unions by sitting on Wal-Marts board. I’m sorry but that comes out as a wash, if not a slight advantage for Hillary Clinton.
McDaniel is bothered by the fact that Clinton formerly sat on the board of Wal-Mart, which he and many other union members boycott because of what they see as unfair labor practices.
Chicago Tribune Excerpt:At the same time many think Hillary is cold and calculating.
"I think he's a little glib for my liking," said Fiaza H., a Montessori teacher in Fairfax, Va. "He's a little superior."
When Barack Obama speaks, there are brief pauses separating most of his constructs, a parsing of frankness bordering on a stutter-step of language use and words oftentimes appearing to come together neatly by accident…..or by rehearsal. Next time, listen to him closely, he is very careful with his choice of words and direction. Obama is smart, but I would wager he is not as fluent or superior as he appears. Contrary to the high education levels polled by some of Obama's supporters, his game plan based on hope seems to restore a second-chance for the dreams and lives of Clinton's supporters - supposedly the less educated.
With the end of Edwards campaign, I am about equally torn between Hillary and Barack and would rather see these two unite for the Democratic party ticket against the greatest threat facing the nation's future. The threat posed by a continuation of the Bush doctrine under John McCain must be confronted and retired.
