Tubbs,

Some won't vote for Obama because of racism, and some won't vote for him because they don't like his supporters (check out Jeff Greenfield on Orwell and his critique of British socialists) but many will not vote for him because he doesn't know how to speak the language of populism, and what is sad is that he didn't even take the opportunity to address these people at the end of the campaign.

The people Obama isn't reaching have been, historically speaking, the people who make victory possible.
