Hillary Clinton's inner circle now fears a stinging defeat is likely in North Carolina.
"Look, we worked hard and gave it our best shot, but the demographics, well, they are what they are," a top campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT as voting began Tuesday morning.
The campaign now believes a 15 point loss, or more, would not be surprising. Her team will work hard throughout the day to lower all expectations in North Carolina.
What if Barack Obama's campaign had said this about Pennsylvania? Well that would have been offending "real people"! White working class voters! Whose interests are paramount in today's political discourse. Blacks and latte-drinking liberal elitists, after all, are not real people.
Isn't Hillary Clinton the one who needs to drastically catch up in the delegate count? Why is Obama expected to transcend demographic realities while it's completely normal for Clinton to receive 10% of the black vote?
What is with this fetishization of the white working class?
Update: And really, the Clinton people would be ok with losing by 15 points? Even though the polls only show Obama up by 7.3% in NC?
Update 2: How did Clinton go from being an unelectable "feminazi" hated by vast swaths of America's common folk (who will turn out en masse to defeat her if she is the nominee) to the socially conservative voice of the white working class who is clearly far more electable than the America-hating Obama? Just goes to show the extent to which Republicans still have the power to shape the media narratives to benefit their electoral interests.
Update 3: Hahaha I've never been a big Halperin fan but this is right on.
Update 4: Wow, this guy understands American politics.
