Volunteers of America
To paraphrase, I can’t define momentum, but I know it when I see it. From Brilliant at Breakfast:
… it’s clear that there is a coalescing happening around Barack Obama, who according to CNN exit polls yesterday in Virginia won:
- 90% of black voters
- 75% of those under age 30
- 67% of those under age 45
- 52% of those over age 60 (so much for the oldsters keeping the nomination away from him, eh?)
- 50% of white voters
- 59% of women
- 61% of union households
- 65% of those making less than $50,000/year
Latinos aren’t on the list because CNN didn’t poll them, but damn — looks like every other demographic showed up in a big way. The media and the entrenched old guard Dems are getting handed their reality, and it does not reflect their talking points. What’s really funny, is that if they don’t deal, we’ll just leave them behind. We are bigger, mouthier and more motivated. God, what a buzz.
This is a snapshot of Americans taking America back. This is what appeal across social, economic and race boundaries looks like. Unity is more than a word, it’s a mindset. It order to have it, you have to want it. In order to want it, you get yourself up and make it happen.
We are volunteers for America.
