Looks to me like "Elitist" is the newest label Camp Hillary is trying to apply to Obama in an attempt to get something negative to stick to him. They appear to have given up on the terms inexperienced, latte liberal and suggesting he's a Muslim. Now Hillary and Bill and their nine figure income want you to believe that Obama is a snob who's out of touch. While Chelsea runs a hedge fund, Hillary pretends shakes her fist and says she's going to take on the Big Money Wall Street guys. While Hillary sends jobs overseas, she panders to middle-class blue collar workers about her Gas Tax Holiday, which has zero chance of passing.
Lets face it, Hillary is essentially financing her own campaign at this point. Without using her own money (which I think should be illegal but hey, I'm not the boss yet), Hillary would be done. As it is, her debt is sky high, her cash on hand for the primaries appears to be limited and she'll continue to have to "loan" her campaign money until she drops out.
I AM Hillary's demographic. White, male, middle-class. I do not have a college degree. I served five years in the Army. I own a pick-up truck. It is old and battered (although it's not my primary vehicle).
But I'm giving my time, money, support and vote to Obama. Because this "elitist" candidate doesn't have to have a nine figure income to run a campaign. He doesn't need a big-money bully-machine to push around the Democratic Party and trying to change the rules. I think Senator Obama is a person of integrity and damn, it's been awhile since we had one of those in the White House. He hasn't become the Democratic front runner by having a deep core of big-money supporter, he's gotten to that position because of people like you and me, who can chip in five bucks here and 20 bucks there.
I'm thrilled by the outcome of Indiana and North Carolina last night! I think there's no question that Obama is going to be our nominee, but I want him to hit the general election war path in the best shape possible.
So I'm giving what I can again tonight and pitching another ten bucks Obama's way and asking that you do the same if you can.
Gobama! (and throw me a KnR if you're with me)
