4. The race card in New Hampshire?
What was he doing, trying to drive a wedge between the white and the extremely white?

5. Shaheen said Obama might have been a drug dealer
And Obama said - hey, don't paint me out to be a black drug dealing gangbanger --

and somehow or other that's Obama playing the race card.

I now know it isn't just Republicans who have the capability to rationalize away any kind of injustice.

6. No, the race card mysteriously only appears before stand alone majority black primaries
When only Obama would benefit, like SC and MS.

Any wagers on whether it will show up for NC? NC will be one-third black so it isn't an obvious case like SC and MS. Obama will need some white support (30-35%) to win NC.
