She is going after woman and black votes because she knows those are the ones that will get her in. Watching her getting endorsements from blacks makes me sick.
That IS extraordinary, Roy. She IS going after voters who historically vote Democratic....since the 'Southern Strategy' drove down a black vote that was significantly more Republican. Look that up.
She's also going after Hispanic voters who've also drifted way from the % of votes they gave Dubya.
The Asian American vote? Should be a natural fit for Republicans.
It's not.
They are economically conservative but socially liberal, and they really don't like the sweeping generalizations about immigrants that Republican have a weakness for making.

But we'll never know if it was simply the classic Keynesian economics response to a collapse in demand that ANY president would have had to make, because we were simply out of options.
Do you really imagine that McCain would have confronted his Treasury Sec., his economic team and the FED Chairman and NOT heard" "It's worse than we thought, we are f*cked!
We HAVE to save the auto INDUSTRY, extend unemployment benefits and SNAP. We HAVE to be the 'spender of first resort' 'cause you know, everyone is scared sh*tless and they're not SPENDING.
We can get back to talking about the 'trickle down economics', that we console ourselves and our base with, to make all of us feel better.
Just not right NOW."
