I agree with both of these posts. Obama himself has used 'typical white person' comment and that doesn't mean he is a black racist. It is similar to Hillary's comment on the poll data which is not white racism either. However, Obama camapign consistently used these false race-baiting accusations against Bill and Hillary to peel of the AA voters from them. Peeling of and keeping the AA voters from them is their primary strategy. This is one of the reason Obama defended Jeremiah Wright in the first time to retain the AA voters on his side. For this reason alone, I will NOT vote for him under any circumstance.
The Clintons made some remarks that AA voters did not like. You cannot blame anyone but the Clintons for that.
Obviously, but Avistan would have you believe that AA's would clearly be voting for HRC if they hadn't been duped or "bamboozled by shuck and jive" (as many of them like to say).
I've seen this latent racism postulated here time and time again, implying that AA's are too dumb to vote issues or recognize race baiting when they see it. It's pathetic and saddens me deeply.
Lex parsimoniae just doesn't seem to apply for some of these people. Go figure.
Honestly, you'd prefer McCain to Obama? Please, think before you vote. McCain will appoint the most conservative judges he can find.
I saw McCain on TV yesterday, and his major complaint about Obama was that he opposed the appointment of Roberts.
Myself? I'd prefer Clinton. I'd prefer Edwards.
I'll vote for whomever is the Democratic Nominee. Id prefer Mickey Mouse over John McCain. That guy is truly evil.
"peeling away AA voters" is not a strategy that Obama would follow, for the simple reason that he would LOSE more white voters with ANY strategy that was designed to appeal to AAs. That's just the nature of the world we live in.
Remember, delegates are split up proportionally, so overall it is to your advantage to win as many votes as possible in every state. For this reason, Obama would not follow as strategy that would win him votes in some states (e.g. Southern states), yet cost him even more votes in other states (e.g. Midwest and Appalachian states)
