Obama's tanking with white women: suspicious of a young black man much?

Even as he's about to sew up the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama's favorability ratings have been dropping with white women, even as he's soaring in popularity among comedically gifted Catholic priests. A new Pew Research poll says 49 percent of white women polled have a negative opinion of him, while 43 percent view Obama favorably. That's a 13 percent drop since February.

Are white women pissed about Sweetie-gate, or is there more to it?

What's the real reason white women are souring on Barack Obama?

Not as sexy as John McCain.

He beat a white woman.

Jealous of how skinny he is.

"Change envy."

He's black.
