Could it be that the Repukes and their controlled MSM promoted Clinton and Obama because they knew that the race/gender issue would ultimately divide the electorate and provide cover for the ultimate Republican nominee in the GE. Let's start with Clinton. First she is female, and this country has never elected a female President before. Second she is polarizing and carries a 51% unfavorable rating with the general electorate. Now let's examine Obama. He is black, and relatvely untested in politics and will have a tough time winning the South and perhaps the needed swing states. Given what has happened in the last 7 years this election should be a cake walk win for the Dems. However, with either Clinton or Obama at the top of the ticket it will likely be alot closer than it would have been had the Dems selected a more conventional candidate like Edwards or Biden for example. I have been around long enough to know that politics is a very dirty game, especially the way the Republican Party plays it. We have already seen the impact that the MSM has had in shaping the perception of the electorate as it relates to Clinton and Obama. Could anyone doubt for one minute that this was not part of some greater plan?
