Lynn Forester was one of Clinton's "Hillraisers," people who collected at least $100,000 for Clinton's presidential campaign, but now she is throwing her support behind John McCain, not Barack Obama. Forester -- CEO of a holding company with businesses around the world -- thinks Obama is arrogant and has a problem connecting with average Americans. This is what she had to say about the Democratic nominee recently on CNN. "Frankly, I don't like him," she stated. "I feel like he's an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him."
Danta Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, says the Forester endorsement highlights a larger problem for Obama -- connecting with middle-class white voters. "We've seen that again and again during the primaries for the Democratic presidential nomination. We see it now in the national polls," he points out, "so there is some worry. Now, my guess is that most Hillary Clinton supporters like the one you mentioned -- wealthy Democrats -- [are] going to support Barack Obama, but the real worry for Obama is with working-class white voters in places like Pennsylvania and southern Ohio [and] Michigan."
Scala argues white middle-class voters are a key voting bloc that could go either way in this election, and one that Obama has to work hard to convince that his promises of change will amount to real material changes in their lives.
The democrats are shaking and they should be...as they...ONCE again picked their candidate like they are picking a nose. (They will get the same results either way. My opinion.) Barack Obama is the Political Machine of Chicago's Candidate. He really knows NOTHING of Change. He HASN'T YET...YET...shown that he is or will embrace change. Can you say Manchurian Candidate?
