Could we stop talking about race and gender constantly? WTF?
Aren't we better than that? Do we need to constantly obsess on the lowest common denominator voters and
who they might or might not vote for? How about talking about why YOU support your candidate and not speculate
on the massive electorate of the entire country and project your fears/prejudices/shortcomings onto them....

I am REALLY disgusted with the level of discourse on here tonight.

4. Tell BO that he's the one that started whining about racists so
he could get more votes in SC., and he has stuck with it.

Notice how the race card never appears before the Iowas, Wisconsins, Ohios, and Pennsylvanias? It is damn obvious who benefits from this...

5. Not when Obama's slim margin is based on swiftboating the Clintons on race
Obama should have practiced what he preaches and run a positive campaign that sought to "transcend" race and create a post-racial society. Instead, as usual, he said one thing and did another.

12. Can you say hypocrisy?
Bush beat Kerry with swiftboating. Are we to forget that? This isn't 1984. History may be revised in Obamanation but not elsewhere.

10. Yeah, and get run over by Hillary. She thought he would be a cakewalk.
Too bad he's a better fighter than she is.

It's too bad we couldn't have had a dialogue about it all along.
