I disagree about Clinton (5.00 / 1) (#15)

I think she absolutely needs to say loud and clear to those voters Obama dissed that she doesn't think that way and vigorously disagrees with what he said.   Otherwise, Obama's idiotic comments can damage the entire Dem. Party, not just him personally.  She absolutely needs to speak out on this personally, I think.  (That said, obviously, she needs to do it carefully.)

She should have focused on what (none / 0) (#33)

she is doing, succeeding with every demographic by showing how she would work on the problems they're experiencing. That said, he's made a terribly revealing statement.

If you start by sneering at the voters you need with a "cling to" dismissal, you will not design policy that will help them.

I am surprised that the wealthy were convinced by that answer. Frankly I think he sidestepped the answer:

I would want someone who would say, "yeah, I do need to work on that demographic better...I know I can help them, and I want to, but they just don't know that about me yet. But I'm working hard on it. If I had more ad money I could reach them..."

Really he was signalling to these wealthy guys, "Who cares about these dregs  of society that you'll outsource anyway, right? The're toast. Stick a fork in them. They just use up all your tax dollars on their expensive healthcare. "
