Winning Working America: How to regain the Hillary Democrats

– Lou Barletta, Mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania

So, that’s the editor of an anti-immigration Website, a man who travels the country organizating anti-affirmative initiatives, and a Pennsylvania mayor who lost his 2002 and 2008 runs for Congress in the northeastern Pennsylvania counties that went for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the presidential primary. This seems to read much more into Clinton’s infamous comment that she was winning “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans” than she meant.

On the June 15 edition of his Fox News show, Glenn Beck hosted Nancy Armstrong — whom he described as a “disenfranchised Democrat” who “has a blog called MsPlacedDemocrat.com” — in order to assert that it wasn’t “only Republicans” who have hosted tea parties. One topic that didn’t come up during the discussion is the numerous posts on Armstrong’s blog advancing the falsehood that President Obama has not released a valid copy of his birth certificate.

Armstrong’s blog is a throwback to the heady days of June through December 2008, when a certain type of Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter transformed from Smeagol into Gollum and went more or less insane trying to find a silver bullet that would deny Barack Obama the White House.

I am definitely closer, I would think, to the people of New York, than Caroline Kennedy could ever presume to be. So why shouldn’t I give it a shot, when I am THE ordinary Democratic citizen of New York State?

“Wait,” you say, “I don’t know who Harriet Christian is!”

I think you do.

But is that really evidence that she’s not an “ordinary Democratic citizen”? Well, yes. That and her participation in a Pennsylvania “Democrats for McCain” bus tour.

It’s easy to laugh at the PUMAs, but bear in mind — for a couple of months, these people could get booked on Fox News by snapping their fingers. They had meetings with Sen. John McCain’s campaign, and even with the candidate himself, based on the campaign’s mistaken assumption that the group represented more than a handful of bitter oddballs — and that there was a pro-Hillary, anti-Obama groundswell out there for the taking.
