With all of the talk about "the Black Vote" , "The Women Vote", "the Hispanic Vote", "White Women"/Black Women" Vote!!!!! The list goes on and on.

But I have to admit that I never hear much about the "White Men" vote. This story suggests that "white men would rather cross the line and vote Republican, than vote for a black man. It also suggests that the majority of white men feel that voting a woman into office symbolizes everything that they hate about womens rights and roles. I saw on CNN where the Jack Cafferty posed the question as to whether or not the vote of "White Men" was being ignored..

Well, being a "White Male" from WI. I was surprised to see how well Obama did in my state. I was pretty sure he was going to win, but not by the #'s he did.

The article is about a specific group of white men (blue collar):

The group is usually defined as those without a college degree, including union members and those with service and technical jobs. They typically make less than $50,000 a year. And, they make up huge chunks of the electorate in key states like Ohio, Michigan, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

And the article makes a good point--these people typically vote Democrat, but may switch over because a) they are not ready for a female or black president and b) McCain is much closer to their political profile than previous Republican Presidential Candidates ("a" is the point made by the article, I made the "b" point).
