“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she told USA Today.

The newspaper quoted her as saying that an Associated Press article showed how Sen. Barack Obama’s support among “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

So it is about time someone actually came out and said it. Why does Hillary Clinton think that by having the uneducated white Americans she can win the White House? Last time I checked, this is not really the constituency that I would be courting if I wanted to get to be president. Sure, these are hard working people and they do make up a significant amount of the population but in many ways I would rather say I have the hard working, educated people that want to vote for me.

Personally, if the really smart people in the country think that Obama is doing something right then maybe the rest of us should listen rather than going out and voting for Hillary because she’ll be like Bill right? Wrong. Last time I checked, not too many people liked her as first lady, after all she was commonly referred to by people of generation Y as the ice queen or other terms like that. Now in addition to being a completely cold person she has added “will do anything for power” to her list of descriptors.

Are you voting for her because she is going to give you a “gas tax holiday” or because she is going to socialize health care? If so you’d best do a reality check because the gas tax holiday is an empty promise that won’t actually amount to anything (this is coming from someone that drive 100 miles every day) and socialized health care is about the worst idea you can imagine. If you want to see why, I would go move to Quebec for a year and try and live with their health care. I hope you don’t have cancer or some other serious injury because they will not likely be able to treat you in any reasonable amount of time and when they are ready you likely will already be dead. This coming from someone who’s mother had breast cancer and moved away from Canada because there are no oncologists left in the country.

I’m not rich, but I do consider myself to be relatively bright and hard working and after thinking about this election the choice is clear, Barack Obama is the only candidate that actually offers real character and substance to the position of President. Honestly, if he doesn’t win the nomination, I think I would actually vote for John McCain just because I can at least come to terms with fiscal conservatism. If you want to be one of the dumb white people that Hillary Clinton says is her constituency then more power to you but I think I will consider myself to be a little brighter than that and vote for a candidate that looks at me as more than a means to an end.
