Where’s the Outrage?

Senator Barack Obama and his campaign showed us that he can, and actually has, won over working class white men and women voters. They have also shown us how to communicate, at least for those who are connected with email, text messaging, YouTube, Facebook and a blog to name just a few ways.

Here’s a look at the exit polling from Oregon, Vermont, Washington and Georgia obtained from CNN (these numbers are percents):

So, what is Senator Hillary Clinton talking about? I think that West Virginia and Kentucky showed us what happens when Americans who aren’t plugged into the information age go to the polls. Clinton is well known. Everyone has already made up their minds about her. In contrast, Obama was a relative unknown. There were tons of rumors floating around which were probably not combated with good, correct, quickly obtained information (like that he is Muslim, unpatriotic, etc.). I think that Obama was campaigning for the general election so that he becomes known to some of the folks of Kentucky and West Virginia.
