Whatever happens to Obama the Clintons are responible
In order to secure a majority of superdelegates ostensibly to eventually win the Democratic nomination, the Clintons are now laying charges of Barack Obama's supposed unelectability before the superdelegates. But what they are not saying is that they, jointly, and in concert with their own campaign surrogates are responsible if in fact Obama is indeed unelectable. They have thrown all sorts of dirt imaginable at him, using clandestine racial politicking that include leaking, and distributing to the internet vedeos all for the purpose of inflaming white passions for the sole purpose of racializing Obama's candidacy, and thereby driving a wedge between him and white voters. And, make no mistake about it, before this primary is over we are definitely going to be subjected to even more Clintonian desperation recaliberated to inflict a deadly blow on Obama's chances once and for all.

Quit whining. If your candidate can't survive the vetting and mudslinging of the primary process, then he hasn't a snowball's chance in the general. So thank you for proving her point.

Quit whining? That's pretty rich coming from a Clinton supporter.

Unbelievable. Whatever perceived slights they have received from the Clintons are about 1% of the intensity of what the Republicans will throw at them. The Clinton/Obama infighting isn't even half as intense as the way the Republicans went at each other. Most slights are oblique and indirect. The Republicans directly criticized each other directly, sometimes very harshly and ran directly negative ads.
I've said all along that Obama can't win. I like Obama, but his supporters take every innuendo, every nuance to heart as if their own mother's virtue was being challenged.
Grow up.

Hey thabo mda,
Do you have proof of your assertions, or are you just whinning and blowing smoke?

I'm sure the Obama campaign wouldn't take the same position.
They said it couldn't be done
Yes, we can
Keep Hope Alive (whoops that wasn't him)

So are you saying that if Obama wins the nomination and then becomes the President of the United States, he owes it all to the Clintons?

What hasn't Obama withstood? His poll numbers dipped but didn't implode, and he bounced right back. Throughout the same period, Hillary's unfavorability ratings climbed and climbed. His difficulties never transferred to support for her. And he still held his own against McCain. And that's before we can draw clear distinctions between the two.
Hillary's argument to the SD's is that he can't beat McCain because he's "black". Well, he's raised more money than anyone has ever seen, he's bringing voters into the process in extraordinary numbers who are never factored into the models. I think he stands a better chance than HIllary, because his foreign policy is different than hers or McCain's, which is damn near identical.
Hillary has always believed if she's center right, the right will love her. It's never worked, but she believes it anyway. Obama will still pull a bigger portion of the independents, where Hillary polls extremely poorly against McCain.
He'll be fine. He'll win. No matter how much Hillary whispers he's "black".

Rodham Clinton is wrong, but Hessein Obama is absolutly Wright, Wright?
He's is begging to be black, remember who said
"our time has come", he is shouting it so loud, you can't hear Clinton's "whisper".
So, anyone claiming that the Clinton's brought race into the campaign, has either "mis-spoke",or "mis-rememberd"
Remember the difference?
It's not about the economy stupid, it's about the African-American vote. He needs it.
