A POOR HISTORIAN

Yes, I'm referring to Princeton professor Sean Wilentz who makes another electability argument for Hillary in HuffPo, Barack Obama and the Unmaking of the Democratic Party. He argues that the Dems can't win without working class whites but he contradicts his own argument when it comes to the 2000 election. Al Gore won the popular vote and only lost Florida by less than 600 votes. If the infamous "butterfly" ballot had not been used, Gore would've won Florida easily. Now, let's recall that Gore also lost the white vote by 17%.
