Since when have latinos and white blue collar workers been strong supporters of Clinton? Why should lationos support Clinton when she is the NAFTA candidate and when she first ran for the Senate she opposed her husbands pardon of Puerto Rican revolutionaries? As for white blue collar voters there is NAFTA againa and Obama seems better on working class issues then Hillary. The main blue collar at the start were Kucinich and Gravel, the Edwards and now that all those candidates have dropped out the blue collar vote should go to Obama by default. Racial prejudice is stronger among the upper classes then in the working class so Obama's support among very poor whites like the ones in West Virginia should be as strong as among blacks. I would think that Jeremiah Wrights anti establishment rhetoric would be music to the ears of white blue collar workers.
