The Political Inquirer

Sadly, I think Paul Begala is right. Democrats just cannot win without the working “blue collar” votes–if Obama can’t pick up enough of those, he will still get 45% of the vote but lose in a Dukakis-type fashion. Begala “The Forehead” had this to say:

On Tuesday night, we mentioned the dustup between two Democratic pundits, Ms. Brazile and Mr. Begala, who engaged in a prime-time debate about the coalitions being built by Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Begala, a Clinton supporter, said the party could not win in November with just “eggheads and African-Americans,” that the party could not ignore white middle-class voters.

He’s dead on target. It is Clinton’s only hope that this argument will keep her in the election or, in the end, get her the vice presidential slot by staying in long enough to show there will be a “rift” if she isn’t on the ticket.
