As if the divisions between race and gender in the Democratic Party hadn’t been further exposed through Tuesday night’s exit polls — and by a very heated exchange on CNN between Donna Brazile and Paul Begala — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s interview with USA Today on Wednesday is further mining those tense depths. “I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in the interview, citing an article by The Associated Press. It “found how Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.” “There’s a pattern emerging here,” she said.

The democrat party is built upon class warfare and division. Naturally this race divide is rearing its ugly head for all to see.

Wow, they’re about to eat each other.

It's been coming for over 50 years...we'll all see the real version of "America's Chickens coming home to roost" when the race wars begin.

Again, we'll she still another attempt to fix a problem, turned into an even bigger problem.

“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,”

Yeah, if she is talking about her own posterior!

The Democrats face a huge problem this year. Obama will get the nomination and then lose the election when large number of working class white Democrats either stay home or vote for McCain. Hopefully at that point African Americans will realize that the Democrat party has been using them for years.

Fun, isn’t it? Hillary is sounding like George Wallace, and all the unprincipled Clinton enablers from the 1990’s are dropping her like a hot rock.

And none of this can be blamed on Bush or Republicans.

I never believed the Democrats had a great love of black people. Unfortunately, they have been able to prey on the ignorance of some of my people for years. They have never truly done anything to help black people unless you count welfare, gav marriage and abortions as help. I spoke to a black gentleman who works for the Secret Service. He told me that Al Gore demands a limit on black Secret Service personell acting on his security detail.

It's always been the dems...they're the racists.

Dems point to the south as a way of saying it turned Republican because of racism. Look at the politicians - other than Maddox and maybe one or two others - all the racists dems stayed dems.

Byrd (D) was in the KKK and it never came out until after he had stepped down. It was the Hollings (D) who brought back the confederate battle flag for South Carolina - his way of sticking it to MLK. Hillary's home.
