Reply #13: No, of course not. Especially if he was referring to a news story

about that demographic. Why would you expect us to overreact?

This sort of thing gets discussed all the time in campaigns, and Obama supporters do seem very sensitive about those exit poll results.

But, as I pointed out already in the topic about how Hillary's remarks were misunderstood, I don't think the trouble Obama is having with working class whites is about race. I think it's about perceived elitism.

And I asked there about whether Obama's support among black voters was initially spread evenly across the economic and educational spectrum. I honestly don't know, haven't seen any figures on that. But what I recall of some news stories I've read, about AA voters who initially favored Clinton and then switched to Obama, makes me think he probably picked up black working-class voters later than other black voters.
