tagging him as an "elite" and reminding people with every other word that he is "non-white" with her commments re "hard-working WHITE americans". I expect John McCain will do the same.

What they don't count on is that Americans are really not that stupid, or that white. Sure, there are racists (I would argue you can find them in suburban backyards as well as rural - they just disguise it a little better).
