“Here Obama needs to work hard on winning Military votes, and some more working class voters. ”

Could you elaborate on this a little more deeply?

Are you saying that military families are satisfied to see their sons and daughters deployed and redeployed and redeployed again to dangerous conflict zones? And what about the working class voters – working-class people have seen their share of the American pie decline during the Bush presidency – their wages have not kept up with inflation, many have lost health insurance, house prices are down and bankruptcy rates among working-class people are up; their jobs are going overseas.

Do the military and working class people in your area really think that McCain’s policies are going to be so different from Bush’s that any of the above will change?

I’m a bit flabbergasted here. Tom & guests say that there isn’t but the most minute difference between Barack and Hillary in terms of policy. Hillary supporters (like the businessman) don’t argue that point, but they come on and say that Barack just hasn’t spoken to them on the issues they care about.

Huh? How can both of these be true?

Hillary supporters get angry when accused of racism in this context, but it’s either that, left-over bitterness from the campaign, or some other nebulous quality that defies definition. Please enlighten me…

I’m from Hampton Roads, in southeast Virginia. Here Obama needs to work hard on winning Military votes, and some more working class voters. Virginia is a big state and if only Northern VA goes, then he will not win. But he is making a good effort and just visited our region. He will win if he continues to work hard.
