Despite the outpouring of Internet, media and primary support for Barack Obama I personally don’t think he can, or will, beat John McCain. I have history in support of my analysis. Barack is a white collar Democrat. Historically only blue collar Democrat’s have beaten Republicans in a toe to toe match up. Barack can get the minority vote. He can get the rare suburban white collar Democrat vote, which is often seen in the wild but rarely travels in social circles, but he cannot get the blue collar workin’ man’s vote that’s necessary to carry states like Ohio. Remember Ohio? The place where the blue collar vote swayed to the right away from Kerry to give us Dubya? Kerry was another white collar Democrat.
Oddly enough Clinton has the blue collar in this race. Her hubby wore the blue collar too as he won two elections. White laborers like guys called “Bubba”. Barack can’t carry these Democrats. They won’t vote for him. So while the DNC may give Barack the nomination by way of super delegates the truth is Hillary is, in fact, probably more likely to beat McCain in the general election. Polls have show this to be true throughout the primaries. If you believe the polls.
