… Hillary’s Budweiser-drinking, Ford F350-driving supporters?
Clinton surrogate and Machinists union President Tom Buffenbarger: “Give me a break! I’ve got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius- driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won’t last a round against the Republican attack machine. He’s a poet, not a fighter.”
I went to the Obama rally in Hartford, and the audience — the huge, arena-filling audience — was strikingly diverse in race, age and apparent income class. While I’m probably leaning toward Obama at the moment, I don’t find him as transcendent and transformational as a lot of people seem to — but this is simply not a characterization of his supporters rooted in reality.
