Dooes middle America know about her political manuverings?
I have been wondering as of late about all these manuverings from the Clintons that we have been reading in the news. Like, the Clinton camp doesn't want to follow the DNC rules, and hence they now wanna have the FL and MI delegates recognized, this despite the promise from Clinton camp pre-Iowa caucus that they wouldn't ask for those delegates to be seated.
Or their demand that the superdelegates choose Hillary because she is the more "experienced" one, compared the Obama. If you have been reading the news, the blogs, as much as I have then you know about all these political jujitsus from the Clinton camp.
Now, we have all been reading about the Clinton camp tends to attract blue collar workers or the rural folks or the "less educated" folks (whatever that means). You know I have been thinking, do the people in these demographics even know about the Clinton camp's political manuverings? I mean I read some of the local newspapers here in IL and IA and WI, and listen to the local TV stations and radios and it when comes to this Democratic primary..they never cover the throw-sand-in-your-eyes politics played by the Clinton's. I mean all they do is report crap like "Obama went to WI" or "Hillary hugged someone" or "Obama is ahead of Hillary in this internal polling" blah blah blah. For blue collar workers and less educated ones, I bet they already have a lot on their mind figuring out how to keep remaining employed and bringing home the bacon. At least these 2 demographics were never fans of the Clinton's when Bill was President because of his political manuverings and word chopping semantics ("it depends on what the meaning of is is", remember?). If the media was covering all the games being played by any camp, don't you think these voters would not vote for Hillary? wouldn't it remind them of precisely why they most probably voted for Bush in 2000?
I am a 28 yr old male living in IL, grew up in Chicago, with a white collar job and college education. I am fairly lefty and well informed. Pretty much was against the Iraq war from the get go. I ready Daily Kos and other news sources like BBC, NYT etc. But for these blue collars workers and so the called less educated folks, what are their news sources? the local papers and talk radio? do these local media sources report the political manuverings by either camp, aside from the standard boilerplate political news?
I doubt if any of the 2 demographics mentioned ever visit websites such as Daily Kos (maybe to we are too far lefty for them, I dont know) but It really is beyond me as to why unions and blue collar workers tend to support Hillary when her husband actually did everything to screw them economically, and his wife to was basically nothing a lawyer representing corporate interests only.
