BEGIN TRANSCRIPTRUSH: Interesting story here from TheHill.com. Look at the headline: "Poll: GOP Gains Big with White Voters -- Democrats' advantage over Republicans in partisan affiliation is way down from 2008 as white voters have turned against them, according to a poll released Friday by the Pew Research Center. While minority voters continue to support Democrats in large numbers, what was just a two-point Republican edge among whites in 2008 has grown to a 13-point advantage today. Republican gains among white voters are 'particularly pronounced among the young and poor,' according to the report. White voters under age 30 now break for Republicans by an 11-point margin; in 2008 they broke for Democrats by a seven-point margin."

So let's see. Let's see here. Other than African-Americans and union members, Obama had three other strong voter groups in 2008. He had a bunch of brain-dead, idiot young adults under 30 still living in their parents' basements and getting health insurance from 'em. He had those making less than $30,000 a year and no doubt not paying much in taxes -- and he had either the college-indoctrinated or overeducated white people. But look now. Obama seems to have failed to give one of these core white groups any hope. Now they're just a bunch of dumb racists. They're a bunch of white people have just turned racist. Well, that's what the Eugene Robinsons and the rest of the crowd is gonna have to conclude.

"White people voted for Obama. He's worked hard, he's really trying, he's trying to overcome Bush and yet these white people say, 'Look, we don't like Obama anymore.' Gotta be racism. Has to be. What else can it be? Could be the economy. That's how selfish they are, then. If it's their houses and their economy, how selfish! Do they not understand we have the first African-American president? Where is their sense of history! Where is their sense of duty? It doesn't matter where their jobs are. They're supposed to put all that behind them. That's supposed to be subordinated to Obama." So the question that you have to ask, as a thought tweak here: "Once you go Barack, can you go back?"
