How Will White Males Vote?

| the entire program

GUEST: Jonathan Tilove, national correspondent with Newhouse News Service, writes about race for Newhouse

Regardless of who wins the Democratic Party nomination for president, one thing is for certain: the Democratic Party is breaking historic precedent this year and white males in the party are, for the first time, having to choose someone who doesn’t look like them. Obama’s supporters tend to be young, black and male, while Clinton’s supporters tend to be older, white, and female. According to exit polls in the elections thus far, Obama does seem to be attracting more white males than Clinton. But overall, white males as a demographic group, have yet to strongly favor one candidate over the other. Being the historically dominant demographic, it remains to be seen whether they will vote with their gender and go for Obama, or vote along race and stick to Clinton.
