Warms to Obama? I've been with him the whole time!

Just think how head scratchingly bizarre that headline would be if it said McCain.

Racists love Communists, white or black.

Arizona and the valley of the Sun...
near dead last in nation with heath care...
near daed last in nation with public education...
McCain in 26 years never voted once to promote science and augent and instill alternative energy despite the fact that AZ in number one in the union with available sunshine!
Ask people from Az. what has McCain done for the state?
Youll hear silence!
Theres plenty of white-trailers in AZ and big time property tax too!

The white working class has been a Democratic constituency from the party's founding. I don't really see why this comes as a surprise (sure, the rabid cultural warfare from Nixon through Bush kept the Republicans in power with the help of the white working class, but they returned in droves to the Democrats in both Congressional races and in the Presidential races of 1976, 1992, and 1996, and are trending more Democratic once more), but the mainstream media's narrative is becoming more and more irrelevant everyday when it comes to this election.
This election will be one for the history books, alright. Not just because it will put into office the first African American President, but because it will fundamentally shift American politics for the next forty years. Realignments work in cycles, and this year is akin to the GOP's victory in 1968, but this time, it's the Democrats who are turning up lucky.
Party like it's 1932!

In a way, I hope Obama wins, that way we can have our first Socialist President. With the US economy doomed, we will be force to accept regional integration into a North American Union. With a weak and internationalistic president like Obama, we will have to accept the inevitable, paving the way for a new world order. We will get our just reward-not too far in sight; the end of all things to come.

Those are the teacher's union members, government union members, who are for Obama. (Not working class)
Obama racial slur against white Pennsylvanian that we are bitter, clinging to guns and religion.
A racial sterotype, that Pennsylvanians are not going to forget.

I'm from PA and I don't take offense to Obama's comment about us clinging to our guns and religion...mostly because I agree with the statement. We are bitter
