latte liberal
n.— «Mr. Rush’s district, the state’s most Democratic, was 65 percent black. And in 1999, it included not only Hyde Park, home of the University of Chicago, but several relatively affluent Irish-American neighborhoods. There were plenty of college-educated, white, “latte liberals” with whom Mr. Obama polls well.» —“A Streetwise Veteran Schooled Young Obama” by Janny Scott New York Times Sept. 9, 2007.
