Quite a night. Bottom line: Hillary won't win without black support; Obama out without white women
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 11:39 PM by faygokid
Maybe in the midst of all this Super Tuesday hammer and tongs we need to keep these facts in mind. And I know that not all blacks are for Obama, or all white women for Hillary, but if either group sits on its collective hands in November, you can forget about a Dem win. So start thinking about that as the fight rightly continues.

1. If Obama wins the nomination,
I think Hillary will work really, really hard for him.

I think if Hillary wins, she will need to persuade Obama to be her VP. She'll need to promise him some real power too.

2. She will win without the Black support...higher percentage
of white women, seniors in general and most hispanics voted for her.

4. So she can win without
the black vote, the young vote, and without carrying ANY swing states? Your arrogance is showing.

6. No Dem will win without black support. But if you don't feel you need it, be my guest.
You're not helping your candidate with such an asinine statement.

12. LOL! Yep, all the black people in the US will vote GOP.
It's absolutely disgusting that team Obama who whined about Hillary running on her own and not with her husband NOW, all of a sudden, think she can't win without their magic man.

:rofl:

Get over yourselves.

15. No, they may not vote at all.
Good luck. Be sure to keep up your scathingly brilliant political strategy.

13. No Dem will win without African American support
And I agree with the poster who said that Obama and Hillary will need to kiss and make up before the general election.

So will their supporters.

7. Obama is winning enough white women.
Hillary isn't winning enough white men and blacks. Mexicans have boosted her, though.

11. Race and gender separation are not what Barack is about what makes him my candidate.
