The Neo-Liberal War on Blue-Collar Whites and the Breakup of the Democratic Party »

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936 A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem [...]

DEMOCRATS: Wake the F–K UP! You’ve got a BACKLASH on your hands »

HE CANNOT WIN IN NOVEMBER! As Larry wrote, only slightly tongue-in-cheek about the Obama campaign’s dilemma, “If we would just figure out a way to get rid of those damn middle aged, non-college educated, cash strapped white bitches, then we would appreciate the utopia Obama is offering.” Thing is, this lower-class white bitch (okay, sorry, [...]

A NEW Chris Matthews Classic: Hillary is the Al Sharpton of White People »

Via Michael Calderone’s blog at Politico.com: When Chris Matthews says something he thinks is clever, it usually keeps coming up throughout the night. Early in Tuesday’s primary coverage, Matthews said that if Hillary Clinton uses the word “white” once more, she could be called “the Al Sharpton of white people.” A couple of hours later, [...]

Obabies Can’t Handle Defeat »

Competing Endorsements and Parallel Narratives »

As the campaign for the nomination heads into the final days before North Carolina and Indiana, both campaigns are attempting to control the narrative prior to the voting. Obama is failing miserably. The Clinton campaign so fully controls the narrative now that it’s virtually a presidency-in-waiting, with bully pulpit and podium to boot (more on [...]

Identity Politics and Anti-White Racism »

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire Recent polls show that approximately 30% of Hillary voters could defect to McCain if Obama is the nominee. That such a large swath of Democratic voters might defect should be disconcerting to superdelegates, to say the least. I’ve been reflecting for several [...]

Obama Turns On the Race-Baiting Wurlitzer: Signs of Candidacy in Trouble »

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My Life [...]

The Reviews Are In, and They Ain’t Purty [Hysterical Update] »

Sory, i’m just a typical white hick (but thankfully not a “typical white man”). But it shor beats being a deluded liberal who thinks that Barack Obama is the Second Coming. Or believing his bull about the Iraq War (and his “re-created” 2002 speech), or that he’ll really change America, or that he’s going to [...]

What is Past is Prologue »

John B. Judis, co-author with Ruy Teixeira of the superb The Emerging Democratic Majority, has a piece today in TNR on the damage Snob-gate has done to Obama. Judis is a respected observer of demographics and voting trends, and his words in this article are perhaps too cautious for his larger point. Superdelegates and Party [...]
