Matthews: “Can Obama now win over the regular folks, white folks, against John McCain?”

Matthews: Obama “can't walk into a dinette with five or six guys there, white guys, in some cases ... He can't just shake hands and hang out”

Matthews: Does Obama “connect with regular people” or just African-Americans and college grads?
