So I say enjoy your 1 delegate advantage obamaites in Nevada if it makes you sleep better. Payback will be a bitch and her name is California.

2. I've been wondering why
pollsters have said that Latinos prefer Hillary over Obama, is it because they see African-Americans as "competition"? Has Hillary done a better job of speaking to their needs? I thought she had cooked herself with Hispanics after her driver license flip-flop.

4. Personally, I don't think you should go there. It is much better to speak on her flip/flop
rather then bring race into the argument

3. This is payback from Iowa. Even though Obama one by 9%, he was only ahead by 1 delegate
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 10:04 PM by still_one
there because of the super delegate rules

It also doesn't change the fact that Hillary has been all over the board on Iraq. In fact do you remember her wonderful trip with mccain to Iraq. That was during her, "we are making good progress period"

She can't be wrong on Iraq, because one of her positions on Iraq has to be right

6. C'mon, give it a rest
If it's what the Obama supports need to keep them motivated, then it's all good.

8. Hispanics rejected Obama's attempt to Swiftboat Clinton on Race.
Hispanics aren't as dumb as Obama was Hoping.

12. It was the Clintons that engaged in switfboating
When he was in trouble with white voters in New Hampshire in 1992 Governor Bill sprinted back to Little Rock to preside over the execution of a mentally retarded black man. To ensure her husband's victory in his reelection race in 1996 Hillary insisted Bill chop poor mothers--a good slice of them black--off the welfare rolls. Nonetheless many blacks rooted for Bill, absurdly dubbed by Toni Morrison "the first black president" and in the impeachment crisis over Monica Lewinsky they were his most steadfast friends, as Bill recognized when he summoned the Rev Jesse Jackson into the White House to help him pray for forgiveness and redemption.

Other well known landmarks in the Clintons' relations with blacks include Bill Clinton's set-up of Sister Souljah and his disgusting treatment of Lani Guinier and Jocelyn Elders. The Clintons reach out when they have no alternative and stab you in the back when it seems marginally to their advantage. They are without doubt among the most unprincipled duos ever to have operated in the upper tiers of American political life.
