The 'Real Obama' is coming to the forefront. The support base for Hillary for religious ppl is : she gets those who go to church, rarely go to church, occasionally go to church. Obama gets those who: never go to church! Those and the 'other' blacks and the deluded (but optimistic) young ppl (this generations 'hippies).
His weak support base is getting exposed---those who are politically saavy and for sure Ind/Conservatives will NEVER vote for him!!
John McCain thx the Demo party for being incompetant...and, doing his dirty work!!

Right on jam!!! I believe he has a strong support base, just not enough of 'em. He's a true elitist who has alienated the working class and the racial undertones eminating from his campaign are chasing away the white voters who truly want to mend racial fences.
The weakness in Barack Obama’s support among older white voters appears to have trickled down to younger ones, at least in Pennsylvania, according to exit polls from the state’s primary this week.
While Barack Obama carried voters under 30 years old on Tuesday by 20 points — 60 percent to Hillary Clinton’s 40 percent—he narrowly lost whites in the same age group by four points, 48 percent compared to Clinton’s 52 percent.
Young whites were the only white demographic that Obama carried in close primaries leading up to Pennsylvania’s, as he did in the Clinton stronghold of New York, and in states with racially polarized voting among older voters, such as South Carolina.
Normally Clinton only wins the white youth vote in states she totally dominates, such as Arkansas — not ones where she won by 10 points or less overall as she did in Pennsylvania.
Some Democratic youth activists blame Obama’s slightly lower support among young white voters on cultural politics and racism...
Obama's campaign manager said on Friday that Barack would have no problem with race because all of the racists were already in the McCain camp. This doesn't appear to be so. Racism is a two-way street and many whites are having second thoughts after hearing the racially insensitive remarks of the Reverend Wright, Obama's campaign manager, and Obama himself.
While some may now wonder if Obama can capture enough young white voters to win upcoming primaries, the super delegates may want to give careful consideration as to whether Obama could win Iowa, South Dakota, Wisconsin, or Wyoming again.
