He believes Clinton will ultimately be gracious in defeat. “If she is seen as sulking in her tent and he loses by one point, that’s a catastrophe for her. She will never be forgiven.”

The Clinton Legacy.

“We’ll be playing with fire if we interfere with the voters’ choice,” James Clyburn, the party’s chief whip...

So, is it o.k. with him and he will still support both Ted Kennedy and John Kerry who announced their support for Obama when their constituents voted for Hillary?

“We’ll be playing with fire if we interfere with the voters’ choice,” James Clyburn, the party’s chief whip in the House of Representatives, told The Sunday Times. “African-Americans will feel cheated.”

Figuratively and likely literally also.

It is incredibly heartening to see Hillary's massive ego, ambition, and sense of entitlement go up against the brick wall of reality that bumbi has brought to the dem nomination process. Even if she wins she loses. And if she loses she loses all....her entire world will be brought to shambles. There will be many books written about the rise and fall of the Clintons.

What do we all think of the possibility of Obama running as an independant if he does not get the nomination?

It is curiouser and curiouser how blacks voting for a black man by huge margins is not recognized for what it is: racist voting.

Just where will blacks go to vote as a racial block? A new party that will forever be a minority? If blacks are voting for Obama's politics, which are very leftist, they are stuck on the Democrat plantation, way out of the mainstream.

Entitlement legacy.

Thank you for posting this chock-full article! lol. Amazing. Simply amazing.

“When it comes down to it, they are not going to vote for a black man,” said Jim Whitworth, 43, who wore a Harley-Davidson motorcycle T-shirt and a chestful of Hillary for President buttons to a Clinton rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He said the more he learnt about Obama, the more he found him “scary”. “I don’t feel like I’m a racist, but this country is. People say they will vote for a black person, but when they get to the polls they won’t.”

and...

Kevin Marsh, 57, an Obama supporter in Fayetteville, said: “If Hillary wins, there are countless numbers of people of colour who are going to say she stole the election – and they’ll say, ‘I’m not going to vote at all’. It could get really, really bad.

IE, I won’t vote for a black man, because I AM racist, but being a dem, don’t dare accuse me of that, so instead, I’ll hide behind the theory that the entire country is racist instead!

“African-Americans will feel cheated.”

All Americans have been cheated by the slate of candidates.

I have wondered for years (55 at least) who Africian-Americans are Democrats when Democrats were the party of slavery and were the party that forced them to vote Democrat in the south, east and north.

Anyone have any ideas?

But I guess it is the same with so called religious people who are Democrats and support the party of baby killers.

Steele believes Obama is likely to “limp across the finish line” first, but his candidacy is wounded, perhaps fatally. “He is now going to have to run as a normal politician without that veneer of charisma. He’s been pretty hurt and he won’t be able to run a campaign based on his original high-flown rhetoric

I said it before: The longer Hillary stands, the more she will whittle away at Obama's political legs. He might come out with the nomination but the Clinton machine will have done a lot of damage to him. Better than the Republicans could do at this point. This is like a fight in the barnyard between two pigs in the mud. Neither will come out clean.

remember what crystal said about conservatives?

Where are they going to go?

and the unions and city ward leaders will bring in 100 - 108% for any democrat.
This is just bluster, and that is what it is.

The past doesn't matter (except when you're whining for reparations)

The Democrat Party of today is the party of Welfare, Affirmative Action, and Civil Service Jobs, which means that they will have the majority of the black vote regardless of all other factors

I listen to a LOT of national and local talk radio each day, and the Dems are split among sexist and racist voters. Sexist in that almost all women callers are for Hillary, and racist in that almost all black voters are for Obama. And each promises NOT to vote for the other if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination. Bottom line: McCain wins.

Exactly, the blacks will do whatever their democrat masters tell them to do.
