I'll be very disappointed in my state if the election actually does go that way tomorrow. But, we DO have a lot of stupid people here, so Hillary might indeed win.

A Vote For Clinton is a Vote For Stupid!

Funny thing is, I come into contact with a lot of people every day. Not one person seems to have voted for Hillary Clinton. I guess it's similar to no one admitting to voting Bush in the last time!

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I know a lot of people who voted for Clinton, including several black people

Maybe they are silent because some people will react with the kind of vitriol normally reserved for pedophiles

Even if Hillary wins IN and Barack wins NC, Obama will still lead in popular votes and pledged delegates. Democratic Party is heading into a nomination chaos.

That's a good point. Hillary is not classed as the more "fashionable" of the two candidates. I find the young tend to be more for Obama than the older members of society. We're a college town and all the students can talk about is how great Obama is and how they're going to vote for him.

Random Thoughts triggered by your post

1.Those who brand everyone who differs from their thinking as stupid may themselves need to take a reality check. Before questioning other people's intelligence, it is useful to note that intelligence is umm not that easy a thing to measure (famous IQ tests notwithstanding). However, since 8 years ago, new ways to measure stupidity have been developed and you may want to know how you fare in such a test.

Measure Stupidity Quotient

2. By the way the media portrays Hillary supporters as uneducated whites, older people over age 50 and women. They never look at how many over age 50 are college graduates or post graduates. The same goes for the women. So don't you be gettin too hoity toity just 'cos you're rooting for Barry he he he...

You need to remove yourself from the Barry-Bubble and stick your nose back into reality.

I do feel your pain though. My suspicion is that you voted for Bush I and called those who elected Clinton in 1992 as stupid too. And, then again you probably voted for Bush II in 2000 and '04 feeling pretty smug about that only to go through devastatingly self-deprecating buyer's remorse. If that is the case, you may have to go through "deja vu all over again" thang all over again.

Good luck.

And, oh this following piece might also serve as an eye opener

<h3 class="TWSblog-entry-header">From Deep Within the Echo Chamber</h3> Andrew Sullivan provides a provocative anecdote this morning:

I found out that a friend supported Clinton last night. I was stunned. I asked him why. He said he liked the 1990s, they were good times, he'd like them back. That was it. He had no real feelings about Obama, but he knew the Clinton name and associated it with good times. I pushed further. That was it. He's a man who isn't too interested in politics but knew enough to back the familiar. It may be that simple.

On the one hand, I feel Andrew's pain. As was the case with a lot of conservatives, the Clintons' popularity constantly irritated me in 1990s. What I found especially grating was the way Clinton admirers credited the then-president for our prosperity. The fact that a boom based on ludicrous valuations of worthless dot-coms (among other overpriced entities) either caused or greatly exaggerated our temporary prosperity rubbed further salt in the wounds.

But "the people are dolts" argument that Andrew offers is never a winner in politics, even if Andrew has found one particularly ill-informed individual to buttress it. What's more, the argument sounds especially petty in the wake of a defeat. If you want to run a winning campaign, the last thing you want to do is become Bob Dole beseeching America, “Where’s the outrage?” That question implied that voting Americans were too obtuse to make sense of the world around them.

An additional problem with falling back on the “people are dolts” truism is that it's too easy. It signals surrender, that you're not even going to try to persuade the voters because, after all, they're so flawed as to be beyond persuasion.

The day after the 2006 midterm elections, one of my favorite readers sent me an email imploring me to not slag on my countrymen for failing to vote in the manner I had prescribed. I doubt I would have offered such a column anyway, but the letter offered a sober reminder of a few notions that I hold dear: The American people are good, just and wise. If my side had lost an election, it was by definition our fault. It wasn't as if the American people's sagacity which had been so evident in 2004 had suddenly evaporated.

The fundamental problem with Obama supporters is they want it both ways. They saluted the American people after his triumph in Iowa. Now they've decided that the country is being overwhelmed by halfwits after Pennsylvania.

In truth, Andrew Sullivan's friend notwithstanding, Obama is the issue. He was a brilliant and attractive candidate in Iowa. Can even the most deluded Obama partisan deny that he looks a lot less special now than he did three months ago? In this key area, the pro-Obama echo chamber does the Obama campaign no favors. Obama has real problems that he has to address. Instead, the campaign wishes to slough off these concerns as "distractions." His supporters enable this self-defeating strategy by working themselves into a lather whenever the "distractions" become prominent.

Given the Obama campaign’s dilatory response to existential threats, I’ve posited in many private conversations that it would have been better for John McCain if Jeremiah Wright had become a household name around Labor Day instead of Valentine’s Day. Alas, the Obama campaign will still have 6+ months to right itself. And yet Team Obama's every instinct, and their supporters’ every instinct, is to insist that the Obama campaign doesn't need righting, but that the American people do.

We’ll see how that strategy works out in November.
