White guys in Pennsylvania are a probelm for Barack CSM reports

"A recent poll from Temple University in Philadelphia asked likely Democratic voters to rate the favorability of Clinton and Obama on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most favorable. The contest was closest among white men who gave Clinton an average of 6.4 and Obama 6.9. When only voters over 30 are considered, the numbers get even tighter: 6.5 for Clinton and 6.7 for Obama.

Pennsylvania's white women, in contrast, clearly are more enthusiastic about Clinton. They give her an average favorability of 7.8, versus 5.9 for Obama.

So what's up with the white guys?"

Well, judging by the white, physically able, knuckleheads in my little part of Philly; they're much more concerned about getting their disablilty checks and scoring ghost positions at construction sites. Oh, and hanging out in front of the local bar on the corner (starting at 11 AM)than they are about Hillary or Obama.

I walk past the bar everyday on my way to work and I haven't heard a single peep out of any of them about the election.

No doubt, the union bosses will be out to gather them up before they get too wasted and shuffle them off three blocks away to vote, but they're marching orders are to vote for John Dougherty above all. Vince Fumo is out, we need another good Democratic crook in there to keep the good times rolling.

Neither Barack or Hillary promised to keep the welfare checks coming.
