In 2000, the raging political debate was over the Confederate flag flying over the Capitol in Columbia. That is because there was a Republican primary, and the media was trying to defeat Bush by calling him a racist. Now that democrats are running, its all hush-hush in the media, even though a democrat raised that Confederate flag.
Don't worry. There's plenty of time to raise the flag issue after the primaries are over. Pundits think Sharpton can pull in 25% of the black vote, but what about the rest?
