55. I can say that is a crock. DUer frequently say that only Obama can turn out African-American
Edited on Thu May-08-08 12:30 AM by McCamy Taylor
votes this fall. That is not race baiting when his people do it. They are talking voting demographics. There is nothing dirty about people of European ancestry and there is nothing sanctified about those of African-American ancestry. A vote is a vote. You do not "pander" for the former or "court" the latter. You "win" both by being upbeat and talking about solutions for our problems. Last night, Obama was talking like a winner. Clinton is talking like a VP candidate.

Is that what has people so spooked around here?


I enjoyed my bath. I was reading Studs Turkel's Hard Times a book about what we will all face if we do not get our act together and get behind Obama and start supporting him and stop bashing other Democratic candidates and alienating their voters by suggesting that anyone who votes for that candidate is a closet KKKer.
