Black (and other minority) people have been voting for people who don't look or sound like them for decades - but Clinton's "hardworking white people" have to have someone with whom they personally identify? If that's true, that's very sad.

Obama can't win for losing with some folk: if he were too plain-spoken, some would doubt his intelligence - but as he's too well-spoken, he must be elitist. It speaks volumes to his character that he has refrained from harping on the fact that he was raised by a single mother to shoot down the elitist charge.

Don't people want a president who is smarter than they are? I mean, W has shown us that someone being able to mimic "hardworking white people" isn't the strongest criterion when it comes to being Commander-in-Chief.

Get a grip: we're looking for a president, not a neighbor...
