  • HRC is the winner among racists, whose vote BHO could only win were he to turn white. It irritates me that she exploits this.

          • Yes it is for most of it. Last December, most of those people were still in HRC's camp.

          • in fact, for example, she carried Harlem. The AA vote was definitely hers to lose. If it weren't for the comments that she and Bill made with respect to the african american vote--implying that it wasn't as important as the white vote, saying "as far as I know" about whether Obama was a Muslim, etc., she would probably still have considerable african american support. Obama's support was actually weak in some respects among african american's at first because of the fact they didn't feel he was "african american" enough in that his father was African and his mother was a white american.

      • Except that black voters have always supported the Clintons and would have still had she gotten the nod. I consider much of the black voter voting for him, the same as older woman that are voting for her. They just want to see this historic moment so much.

      • His base of young college students? OR his base of rich, college educated people? Or his base of AAs who have been voting for white Dems all along?

        • yeah, but you are missing it. white rich people vote for him, for the same reason black people do. JUST becasue he is black. if he were white, black people, and rich white liberals, wouldn't vote for him either!

          • Ok, Geraldine. I don't think that's 100% true. I think many, many people are turned off by HRC & inspired by BHO.

        • not with the Black people who are only voting for this race b/c a black president is running. They wouldn't be voting if barrack weren't black, meaning that there votes wouldn't be there at all!

          • Great! More people voting. Not sure how that is a bad thing, esp. considering how long black voters have been disenfranchised.

              • You know how many people are voting for HRC b/c she is woman? Who are you to tell someone that they can't be excited that a black man has risen to the very top and they want to support that? Are you really going to tell someone that survived segregation, that they can't be proud and inspired by that? Also, if blacks would vote for any black, then Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would have gotten much further than they did. Maybe it is THIS black man that is the whole package for some blacks? Furthermore (lol), blacks have supported the white dem time and time again and their vote has been considered guaranteed, if the white candidate can't handle having to work for that vote, than that's a problem. Obama will certainly have to shuck and jive for the blue collar vote!
