This fake racist charge is already being trumped up by the (white and black) MSM and will end up hurting Obama if recent history is any clue.

4. SC was predicted as a result of the MLK/LBJ story. It cost him TSUNAMI TUESDAY though.

9. I saw it, and I don't think it's being spun.
It seemed like a very odd statement by Bill Clinton, considering Jackson won more than SC both times he ran.

17. Why are people pretending race isn't a factor. It is.
There's no denying it. It actually helps Obama in the primary, but, if he gets the nomination, it will hurt him in the general election. The real problem with the Obama candidacy is that he's not sufficiently qualified to be president. There's no getting around the fact that he doesn't have enough experience. We need more than a cheerleader in the White House. We need a leader. And I'm not a Hillary supporter either. I'm miffed and dumbfounded that the Democrats coalesced around two of the weakest offerings. One is strongly disliked by too many Americans and the other lacks the qualifications. But we can march blindly forward pretending those facts aren't true, right? At least one is African American and one is female and that's the main thing, right?
