Democrats in 2008: Re: [Dems2008] Re: Gabrielle / Hillary / Texas

Ci, I am not going to get into the less educated debate with you, I find that offensive in so many ways. I will say one thing on the subject, I know a LOT of well educated, book smart people who have NO common sense. Just because someone did not attend college does not make them uneducated, it makes them less book smart, which to me is a good thing sometimes. I would much rather have common sense and street smarts, as it were, than to have 10 years of book learnin', as my grandmother would say. I, by the grace of God, happen to have both.

The other side will make the argument against Obama that most white males will not vote for a black man. This does not make it true, just as your continual berating of less educated people does not make your statement true.

And Yes, we do have some great chicken fried steak....yum.

You can call me Ci. No, not from Texas, although I've traveled there
alot over last 30 years for business, and I've had more chicken fried
steak than I should have. No doubt Texas is evolving, as North
Carolina has evolved over the last 20+ years.

But fact of the matter is that Hillary is (to over-generalize) like
fingernails on a chalkboard to a lot of white men; and I think it's her
most-challenging group (other than African Americans this year). She
didn't get those high negatives (49% nationwide) without a whole lot of
distaste toward her from white males.

And less-educated white males are not so different from one another
across this country when it comes to resentment toward women
professionals, and those like Hillary in particular. Humankind has NOT
evolved to the point of equality between the genders, and less educated
males present the area where the most work still needs to be done.

I just think there's been inadequate attention paid to the obstacles
that HIllary faces among southern white men.
