A win based on the back of a matchbook! (5.00 / 2) (#1)
by Cream City on Thu May 08, 2008 at 10:29:57 AM EST
That's it.  That's the plan:

I am curious if the blogger expects those voters without college degrees to suddenly get them by November and thus solve Obama's problem here.

Watch for Obama's campaign to be handing out matchbooks advertising those mail-order degrees, so that everyone can finish college this summer and graduate in August and suddenly become Obama voters by November.

Makes as much sense as anything we've seen in this campaign.

I love the self-elevating flattery from the Oboiz that they're voting smart and bigotry-free for Obama and Why Won't The B!tch Quit!

Hey, I'm not the one who mistook that sexist spew about HRC tossing the kitchen sink and hurling china as Obama's foreign policy platform.

We can call it the University of Phoenix Strategy.  Onward to November!

I'm actually IN the "Creative Class"! (5.00 / 3) (#192)

I work for teh MOVIES, you know!

But, child of divorce, saw that one's standard of living could change in a heartbeat and it wasn't necessarily anything I could personally control.

Maybe those sorts of real life experiences explain why some of us "high information" voters appreciate a candidate with a grasp of issues and policy and the ability to follow through.

Those without college degrees probably are thinking like Obama - this is it- they probably are too stupid to realize that there is an election in November, so they won't be voting anyways. Maybe that's what Axelrod and Brazile meant when they said they don't need them - they aren't voting!

Are they now claiming they can garner all the college edumacated voters, the Indie and Repub?  That's a leap if they are.  Do they get it?   They got all the college educated people that tend to vote for Obama and all the AA's .

I have a college degree (5.00 / 2) (#29)
by BarnBabe on Thu May 08, 2008 at 10:46:07 AM EST
I have a white collar job. I enjoy classical music and rock. I enjoy art and museums. I enjoy history and business. I have a Ameritrade account. But I am also a over 45 average white woman. And Catholic to boot. So, I guess the college degree and intellect do not count if you voted for Hillary. Then I am the AWW.

I've actually had to defend my support for Hillary because of my advanced degrees.  I guess I appear to be too smart to support her.  LOL.

Underevolved (none / 0) (#60)
by Athena on Thu May 08, 2008 at 10:54:32 AM EST
And to add - the reaction of those I work with is that one mus be crude and underevolved not to recognize the greatness of The One.  Which only makes me stand firm and fight back.

You've described me (5.00 / 1) (#80)
by TeresaInSnow2 on Thu May 08, 2008 at 11:03:09 AM EST
except scratch the Catholic part.  

And I can see the forest for the trees, just like you.

Something tells me I'm going to really hate being right.

Same here (5.00 / 1) (#89)
by janarchy on Thu May 08, 2008 at 11:07:25 AM EST
only I have a Master's degree and am a Jew. I never knew I was so low-information, racist, stupid etc. until this past year. The things you learn!

Come me in (5.00 / 1) (#162)
by mikeyleigh on Thu May 08, 2008 at 12:00:02 PM EST
since I have advanced degrees in history and my Jewish wife is a professor of English at an eastern PA university.  And like so many Hillary voters, I never knew before this year just how ignorant, racist, and I might add, how immune to Kool-Aid I truly am.

I didn't notice the spelling error. The brain read it right though so I am ok. Heh.

I should mention (5.00 / 3) (#96)
by TeresaInSnow2 on Thu May 08, 2008 at 11:12:38 AM EST
that I was a welfare brat a and a foster child, so I know that there's more to survival than hopey-changey.

Obama is running his campaign for those who've never had to really struggle, the self-actualizers.  That isn't the Democratic Core, that's more the Republican core.

Bad Catholic (none / 0) (#182)
by BarnBabe on Thu May 08, 2008 at 12:21:12 PM EST
I am one of those Pro Choice Catholics who question the whole thing and they rarely rarely see me in church. But if I am there, I know what to do.
