What are you watching and reading? Today I will be watching to see what (if anything) the MSM and blogosphere analysis does with the interesting contrasts between a predominately white progressive state and a predominately white Appalachian state. For background on that check: "It's an Appalachia Problem, Not a White Problem" Houle's piece White Voters, Obama and Appalachia Giordano's review of a NYT piece Operation Anti-Chaos: The Narrative on “White Voters” Is Fiction Sam Stein also puts it together: How Oregon Could Help Obama Defy "White Working Class" Problem Finally check out latest Oregon Survey USA detail data. Likely voters for Obama from SUSA: male by 62-34 female by 49-49 white by 54-43 pro-choice voters by 59-39 liberal by 63-36 |
