If he loses it will be do to racism. That is the mantra now being pushed hard.

Luckily, he still has the 1/32 Cherokee vote in the bag.

Oh, fer chrissake.

White non-college educated voters have to work for a living.

Obama doesn’t know anything about that, he never hit a decent lick in his life.

Community organising is not exactly manual labor.

[smalltownslick]

It isn’t that they’re “educated,” it’s that they are indoctrinated.

[knarf]

Yeah ... there's just too danged many of us out here.

Buh-bye, zero ... and all the czars that rode in with you.

I believe 17% of Bush voters voted for Obama, while only about 8% of Kerry voters voted for McCain. In any case, all racism blame lies squarely on any Kerry voters that voted for McCain, since Bush voters that went for McCain didn’t change how they vote.

The White, non-College educated are the most likely to feel the effects of Affirmative Action.

I think he’s in trouble with the 1/2 white, 1/4 Hispanic and 1/4 black vote, like George Zimmerman, though.

Proof that a college education makes you stupid.

.. i.e., white working class people he never liked anyway. Hopefully they get the message this time around.

[evad]

I'm white and college educated.

Can I join the party?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

So, calling a fairly large voting block stupid gun loving religious bitter clinger crazy veteran hicks causes them not to want to vote for your candidate?

I find that hard to believe. /s

Yet more proof of Mr. Jefferson’s (himself a highly educated man) concerns that the “sophistocated” and allegedly “educated” elites then beginning to gather in the cities would largely abandon the common sense he trusted in the rough and practical farmers and tradesmen who remained on the rural land (aka “the real world”).

Those values of hard work, love of tradition and common sense were absolute necessities if they and their families were to survive in that more natural environment, an environment that would not tolerate the failure to apply reason and common sense to their behavior.

In other words, those on the land either lived by “the rules” nature imposed upon them — or they perished.

One demographic has plagued Obama since his primary duel with Hillary Clinton: white voters without a college degree.

One of the positive aspects of not being black and obsessed with race, or not undergoing 4 years of advanced liberal indoctrination.

We know that not all blacks or all white college graduates drank the Obama Kool-Aid, but the majority did.

At the same time, college educated white voters continue to offer 2008 levels of support to the President. In the same 25 polls, Obama lost an average of just 1.5 percentage points among white voters with a college degree. The national polls show Obama holding just as well, and the most recent Pew poll actually shows Obama improving on his 2008 performance among college educated whites.

Who are these people? I want to help them get their money back (if they've been repaying their student loans).

[blackdog]

Obama takes the American fabric, cuts it up into little pieces in order to marginalize this or that group and play one off the other. He does this for three and a half years and then pretends that someone else carved it up into some patchwork of groups because they think this or that, or engage in a profession of this or that, belong or don't belong to a union, practice this or that faith, kill unborn or don't, carry student debt or not, this color or that color,.........an nauseum.

And he wonders why his coalition is defunct?

[Sicvee]

I think it is sad that the result of an expensive college education is the inability to think for oneself. Or maybe these days that is programmed out before college. Either that or the education places people in jobs where everyone is a lockstep liberal—which is true of most state and local government bureaucracies including school districts.

One demographic has plagued Obama since his primary duel with Hillary Clinton: white voters without a college degree...just goes to show how smart all those non-college educated types really are....
