So it's just fine and dandy for Hillary to encourage women
to get out and vote, as she's been doing this entire campaign, but if Obama encourages AA voters to get out, Hill's supporter here are outraged? Hillary has stressed women getting out and voting for her ad nauseum, in way that Barack has not done with AA voters, and there's not a thing wrong with her doing that. But by the same token, there's simply nothing wrong with Obama encouraging AA voters to turn out for him. And he's hardly just appealed to AA voters.

2. I think it's fine for both of them to encourage whoever they want. It's their strategy, and
their race to win or lose.

16. I don't know anybody can even TYPE that much
much less compose.

I've seen Cali have up to 30 active threads that she started. Her fingers must be highly callused.

14. And nothing there
shows any outrage over Obama trying to get African-Americans to vote.

The objection is to the wording. But you knew that. And you weren't content to respond only IN that thread, you had to start some of your own.

It's called spam, darling.

11. I didn't know that Obama was going to AA meetings looking for votes.
I think it's great.

These people help each other dry out and live productive lives at those AA meetings.

If Obama wants to appeal to them it's a good thing.

He should try for every vote he can get.

Why not Alcoholics Anonymous voters?

I was so puzzled and confused. :blush:
