Obama's White Voter Problem

If Obama is going to win white exurban voters on Election Day, it’s not going to be due to his usual appeals, Matt Bai writes in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. White exurbanites are more likely to vote for Obama out of "frustration with the alternative”—no matter what crazy things they’ve heard about Obama. "If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn't vote for me, right?” Obama tells Bai. “Because the way I'm portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?”
