Why does Obama do so well with Hollywood stars, college professors, news editors and college kids?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

While Clinton does well with working people, poor people, blue collar people, Latinos?

:shrug:

1. Simple, Hillary is Evita-redux, a woman for the people

Not ivory tower elitists.

[cali]

7. Evita?

for fuck's sake, I don't support Clinton but I'd never insult her by comparing her to that creature. Pathetic post, Al.

[AlFromDem]

10. It wasn't meant as a slight.

Cali, I think your candidate appeals to the province of the far-left elite who typically don't show up at the polls. It's therefore not in our best interest -- as a country, as a party -- to nominate Barack. Your thoughts.

[Clintonista2]

12. "Far left elite" - Code for "I'm a freeper"

[ingac70]

19. Go back to Freeperville...

with that "far left elite" bullshit.

[cali]

22. There's evidence that you are flat wrong, Al

In 5 states he's appealed to a broad range of voters. He appeals to voters here in the very downscale white farming and logging communities where I live. I guarantee that he'll win in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom which is woodchuck central. He appealed in Iowa and brought in huge numbers of young people and indies. He'll dramatically increase the turnout of African Americans, and they're a sizable chunk of dem voters.

On the other hand, your candidate is bar none, the most polarizing figure in politics. She has high negatives and indies and repukes won't vote for her. African Americans may well not turn out for her, and young people won't either. She's riskier electorally, but anyone with any brains whatsoever realizes that both of them can beat McCain or Romney.

25. Cali, I had forgotten Iowa, that's right, BHO did win there among all demographics

Point well taken.

8. All the ego, none of the charm.

Unless you like a lot of nasal braying.

[ingac70]

2. I'm blue collar, and I prefer Obama. n/t.

[Windy]

11. Blue collar family here too for Obama. n/t

[Avalux]

3. According to your neat and tidy categories, I should be voting for Hillary.

I'm not.

[Clarkansas]

4. Why does Hillary do so well with people like Rupert Murdoch and Ann Coulter? eom

[ingac70]

15. Ha!

You won't get an answer to that question from a Hillary supporter!

[PassingFair]

5. I'm a working people.

I will only vote for Hillary in the absence
of any other choice.

Right now, we still have a choice.

[Alexander]

6. Why does my working Latino college kid roommate support Obama?

Simple - people can't be categorized as easily as you think.

[loveangelc]

9. do you have a problem with those people?

[Radical Activist]

13. The first group have more time to pay attention.

This isn't an insult but the people who spend the most time paying attention to politics are the ones supporting Obama. Hillary used to have more support among those groups too until they got to know Obama better.

When working class people eventually get to know Obama better then Hillary's support will drop among them too. That's what we saw happen in the early primary states. The more people get to know Obama, the better he does. That has been the constant trend for the past year. Hillary can only coast on her last name for so long.

[Orangepeel]

14. Obama's doing pretty well with the unions n/t

[Moochy]

16. Ask a Phrenologist!

Pseudo Science can answer your question!!!

[tritsofme]

17. Obama is definitely the trendy candidate out on the cocktail circuit.

Clinton appeals to the traditional base of the party because her message comes across as sincere and authentic, and people know she can be trusted.

[Prefer]

18. YES, WE CAN!

[Botany]

20. Because they like him along with ....

working people, poor people, blue collar people, Latinos, gays, jews, middle aged people,
seniors, unions (Mark Penn), Doctors, lawyers, teachers, and all people from 8 - 88.

Reason # 1 he is good.

Reason # 2 he is not Hillary

[Tom Strong]

21. Naivete. n/t

[bluestateguy]

23. Hillary supporters vote the way the party establishment tells them to vote

Regardless of their socioeconomic status.

[CoffeeCat]

24. Why does Obama appeal to 43-year old moms?

Obama appeals to a broad range of Americans---because he
many Americans realize that this policies, ideas, experience
and ability to inspire--are exactly what this country
needs at this time.

GObama!

[kurth]

26. Because working people don't have time to listen to long-winded speeches

that say nothing to them.

[ProSense]

27. Ask these people in

Harlem

Fired up!

Yes. We. Can.
