He is Emil Jones candidate, Hillary's opponent is now no "post racial" candidate by any stretch of the imagination.

51. Then you arent paying attention
I loved dan abrams picture of her smiling and taking that boqquet (or some such thing) from that little girl, totally looked like they were running and ducking. Plus Im 45 and Id remember if the first lady was shot at. Which I dont because it didnt happen.

4. That is what Obama's campaign is saying to black superdelegates
Of course, to everyone else he is sold as the "post-racial" candidate.

23. And a white will be the President thanks to Reverend Wright
Hillary's souless empty suit of an opponent will give the Republican's a victory they couldn't have won without Reverend Wright . The real rainbow coalition will be all the Hispanics and Asians switching parties along with the white working class.

7. Post Racial? are you saying race issues no longer exist in this country? If so you are delusional
He isn't post racial, nobody is. He simply is not a product of the segregationist era that other older candidates (like Hillary) are.

27. By whom? Got a link? Nobody is saying he is post racial, you seem to not understand
He is not a product of the segregated 50s, that does not make him "post racial". Maybe you have some phases confused.

9. oh bs
we've not seen anything like this before and the Wright rhetoric brings up some real issues that warrant discussing.

Though the whole AIDS thingy is really controversial. I've heard it since the 80's from the African community.

So there.

No one agrees wholly with their friends all of the time.

Sheesh

11. WHAT A CROCK
Hillary, and ironically the self professed first Black President, Bill Clinton ............ MADE ........ this about race.

The only campaign using race or gender as a reason for not winning the nomination is Hillary Clinton.

Of course, pitting one group against another is the handiwork of the GOP and it looks like Hillary Clinton has decided to use that playbook.

Pathetic.

Let her win the nomination. She's lost me and her divisive fear mongering and race baiting is right on par to give her the experience to be President if not MY President.

22. so what?
it's hardly news that you won't vote for him. You've announced it dozens of times. All that says it that you don't give a fuck about the SC or soldiers dying in Iraq or dozens of other critical issues. Hardly something to brag about.

I don't.

He intentionally hid Wright from the public. I don't trust him, and will vote against him.

to correct your statement, I don't give a fuck about Obama.

37. Why do you think McCain has such a hard time with the Repubs
It isn't because he is to far to the right

It is because he is to far to the left. For moderate dems he is far better than Obama.

McCain also has a record of bipartisanship, what Obama says he wants, McCain already has.

If O is the nominee, moderate dems and indies will go with McCain

Remember the majority of America is in the center

35. Hillary will do those same things, cali. It's about O and his judgement and lack of experience at
this critical time.

Also belonging to a church for twenty years, that O very well knows preaches black liberation theology makes him unelectable in the US. You might as well face up to it now.

The breadth and width of the Democratic loss of this election will be written about for more than a hundred years if Barack Obama is our nominee.

Which is why some might support Clinton. She is, after all, a known entity. Not as frightening as a newcomer Obama.
