But Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and the Hamas endorsement DO matter.
I swear.
Did I mention that Muslim Traitor Rezko? You know - the money front man for the Iraquistanian Regime during their WMD development program.

You are missing the core of the Clinton argument.
Working class voters (primarily those who are white) do not support Obama. Therefore, the non-elitist super delegates should see the danger of not appealing to white working class voters (theoretically democrats) and act on the behalf of the majority of white working class democrats to run the candidate that theoretically appeals to the white working class vote.
This acting on their behalf is in the least elitist manner possible, if you know what I mean.

Is this something like HDTV channels - you get more wink-wink in HDObama. Secret code for the elitists?
Or a careful maneuver of story lines. Pseudo-Judo.
I get the same message over and over again from the Obama campaign. The mother ship is grounded, and we are all invited to work to lift it off the ground again.
I smell a rat.

Is the core premise that the white working class voters won't vote democrat because a black man is the nominee?
Or that Obama does not tell the correct "democrat story" and usually democrat leaning voters will not vote democratic? particularly if they are white and working class?
Or does it really boil down to Louis Farrakhan, the Black Panthers, and the Weather Underground?

I have found, in my work place and working with people my parents' age, that black people are guilty before proven innocent when it comes to trust.
It is a subconscious regurgitation of the "welfare queen" imagery.
It hearkens back to white flight and is the same thing that helped make marijuana illegal.
