Clinton promotes segregating politics and Obama promotes UNITING politics
I've never seen such segregation in an election as we see now. White, black, women, men, have nots, haves, immigrants, anti Muslims, young, old. What else!!!!! Obama has been pushing against segregation all the way in this election and tried to unite.

It is preposterous to think that this is the Democratic Party. . I really do think that the DNC should have intervened at an early stage and not let Hillary carve up the electorate for her own personal gain. If someone stands as a Democratic Party candidate then they abide to the party rules and 'etiquette'.

It shouldn't have come to this.

3. put down the koolaid; O and his supporters have run one of the nastiest, most divisive campaigns in
dem history; and if he gets the nomination, he may find that he burned a few too many bridges to win the GE.

He's been pretty restrained given the Clinton campaign HAS used the race card.

8. Really- I find his campaign to have been extremely divisive.
Edited on Tue May-13-08 07:50 AM by Marrah_G
Gotta give his managers credit though. Easiest way to win the Dem primary was for him to paint the opposition as racist. It worked. It was a brilliant strategy. All you have to do is hint at them being racist and that stain, no matter how untrue, never comes off. The media and other Dems ate it up, hook, line and sinker.

Let's hope they come up with something as good to beat McCain.

11. Obama's carved away the GLBT community
We don't count. We don't matter. Our support is immaterial and he will not support us. He will not support those who support us.

I really believe he will get the nomination, barring something miraculous like a late vote at the convention that gives someone like Al Gore the nomination. Basically what that means is that I'm well and royally screwed.
