Question: How Is Hillary Going To Win The Black Vote In The General Election?
Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:37 PM by berni_mccoy
Answer: The Same Way Obama Will Win the White Vote.

If I have to hear that Obama won't win the white working class vote again, I swear I won't vote for her if she somehow steals the nomination.

1. She won't win any black vote, because she won't be the nominee.

2. The quandry that Hillary finds herself in is this...
Her stupid comment about Obama won't win the white working class vote came across to me as "Because Obama is black he can't possibly win" !!
I know that I am not the only one that thought that and Hillary has assumed that black voters can't figure out what she meant.

Just sayin....another among other stupid blunders on her part. She more than likely would have won WV without the comment. Stupid is as Stupid does.

4. Not only can't she win the black vote, if she steals the nomination
she will lose a huge ammount of the white vote. There is no way in hell she could EVER win the GE

8. True enough... I just don't like hearing hard working *white* voters being used
as the reason Obama isn't winning. Clinton has done this far too often.

9. Actually, Obama will have an easier time than Hillary. What she
said this past week has caused a lot of anger, and it was on purpose, with things like that being said by her campaign all the time.

10. What she said this past week is just one more statement in a long line of racially divisive remarks
Her campaign has been dividing the party along racial lines the ENTIRE TIME.

11. She would not win the AA vote in the GE. IMO, they would stay home - and so would I. eom
