I'll leave at this. If you think Obama could win a presidential race in this country. You're naive.
"No other potential candidate is being treated that way on DU - he certainly is the only one whose race is being used as an excuse for him not to run, something that deeply disturbs and disappoints me coming from my fellow Democrats. "
Because its reality. Its the sad truth. The country is full of hate. Hidden Hate. And I say this as a person of mixed race. I truly believe there would be a ton of Democrats who would just not vote at all than vote for a Black candidate for president. And I truly believe that if Colin Powell would run as a Republican there would be a ton of Republicans that would rather vote for the Democratic candidate or stay at home than vote for him.
I don't like it anymore than you do. But I've learned to look at things in harsh reality.
