Obama Supporters Diverse

obama doesn't just have the youth vote and the black vote:
The people crowding Barack Obama's new Bethlehem campaign office Friday reflected the message his campaign is trying to get out: The Illinois senator's supporters are more than the young, black or college-educated professionals noted in the polls.

Among the crowd of 70 were a stay-at-home mom, a marathon champion, a Vietnam veteran, a pastor, teachers, small business owners, Hispanics, middle-age women and, yes, quite a few college students. The supporters hammered home the themes they see Obama representing: unity and change.

''He's such a powerful and influential speaker,'' said Laura Deutsch, a 21-year-old Lehigh University student who grew up in Nazareth. ''I believe he could unify this country.''
