Race Vote Obama

Maureen Dowd wonders why Obama seems less comfortable than Hillary, despite his hardscrabble background, mixing with the white working class. Dowd is clueless. It's because he's black.

A 60-year-old community activistoutside Indy says he hasn't seen this much political talk in half a century. "The kids don't grasp the significance," he said. "It's taking MLK's message to a new level."

In Gary, Ind., the City of Steel, a worker says he's voting Democrat. "Oh yeah, I want a job next year," he says... Obama never mentions the mills. Clinton, at least she seems interested."
