Meanwhile former President Clinton is really acting like the loser that he is by blaming people with "college degree"

Clinton has been most detrimental to democratic party in the last 16 years. I lost interest in this guy when he started defining "is".
So if you work hard and get an education, there is less chance they are going to fall for the nonsense from Clintons!!!
More gems from Clinton's mouth

Indeed!! KY and WV are the two states where people "get it". Two states with the lowest education attainment and household income!!
It seems racists are the people who get "it" according to Clinton. Bill will claim it depends on how you define "it" <!--emo&

There was an analysis in realclearpolitics which showed in West coast, Obama outpolled Clinton among white male population by 2-to-1 and there was another graph that showed the direct correlation between income/education and % of votes obtained by Obama.

Both the income and college variables are related to Obama's share of the white male vote. Combined, they account for 40% of the variation in Obama's share of the white male vote.

My two cents - most educated, upscale mid-western state is Minnesota and it went to Obama in a big way (almost 2-to-1 statewide). Minnesota is a state with republican governor and senator and once elected an independent for Governor, so hardly a state with a sheep-like mentality.
Let us not forget, Clinton's "centrist" policies in the 90s were actually not beneficial to the blue-collar workers (manufacturing jobs left US in droves as a result of his free-trade/NAFTA policies).
Obama is bringing new constituencies to democratic party and that is why the party leadership/super delegates will continue to back Obama. They are tired of the DLC fraud perpetrated by Clinton/Lieberman etc. Gore, Edwards etc. have distanced themselves from the DLC. People know that future of US doesn't rest in "rust belt" states like OH, PA, WV, KY where the population is dwindling (OH and PA lost at least a couple of electoral votes that moved toward states like CO which shows how the power is shifting away from these states)
