3. Clinton and Obama constituencies need to work together
because you can bet the diverse republican constituencies will come together and win the GE if we don't. Republicans know how to unite to win - I hope the dems are as capable but we will find out.

15. Not just an egghead
An elitist, latte-drinking, Volvo-driving, African-American egghead. :D

I'm a middle-aged woman and that doesn't really describe me, either. However, I must admit that I do occasionally enjoy a latte, I drive, I like eggs and I have a head, so ...

8. So Begala is going to vote for McCain? Or does he consider himself an egghead, or an AA?

12. The funny thing is, I'd been pretty happy with Begala's commentary
all through this primary season--I thought he was pretty fair, for a Hillary guy. But then he blew it and made an absolute ass of himself at the very end. Donna Brazile is my new hero.

14. Begala, shut up! You're giving wavering white voters an excuse to go for McCain.

18. I'm neither, and I support Obama.
In fact, I'm everything an Obama supporter should NOT be: over 55, Italian male, blue collar. I never get polled because I only have a cell phone.
