Can "Bitter" Come Back to Bite Obama?
Sunday, April 13, 2008
By now, you've probably heard about the "bitter" comment Obama made about working class Pennsylvanians last week. If you haven't yet, you can read and hear it over at the Huffington Post.
The Clinton campaign wasted no time pouncing on Obama's apparent gaffe by taking aim at his perceived lack of sensitivity to working class Americans. Hillary Clinton even went so far as to down a shot of Crown Royal whiskey with Indiana locals and touted her experience shooting ducks to exemplify how in touch she is with average, everyday Americans. This brazen pandering prompted the New York Times to wonder since when did Hillary become a pro-gun churchgoer.
Meanwhile, according to the latest Gallup Daily tracking poll, Obama still holds a sizable lead among the nation's Democrats -- 50% to 41%.
