Obama losing women, young people, minorities; Expect Hillary Clinton in 2012

President Barack Obama is losing support among women, the young, “people of color” – and even the AFL-CIO dumped him. It seems he has become a liability to the Democratic National Committee (and its allies) and I expect liberal strategists to somehow maneuver Secretary of State Hillary Clinton into the DNC’s 2012 nomination for president.
