Barack Obama, the first "postracial candidate," is heading to the Democratic nomination almost entirely because of his near-universal support from black voters in the Democratic primaries. In both states Tuesday, his share of that vote was 90% or more. If one resets the black vote to the norm of earlier elections, Hillary Clinton is the nominee.
The idea that Obama was a postracial politician dates to his famous keynote speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004. He set the postracial template himself in the speech's third sentence, describing his father born in a small Kenyan village, herding goats, etc. His mother was "born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas."
Over the next three years, writers ratified this postracial definition of Obama's own design. From this idea, a Democratic star arose.
Hillary Clinton, who now resembles the robot's crawling hand in the final scenes of "The Terminator," can plausibly argue to the superdelegates that much of this is electoral bunk. In Indiana, her share of the white vote to his, men and women combined, was 60-40, a huge lead. In North Carolina, 61-37.
They won't buy it. Ever. The "first woman" running for president would have to be pulling 90% of her own piece of history, women, to compete with his achievement. Obama has locked up 90% of a constituency that Democrats not only must have to win in November, but that they've elevated to mythic status the past 40 years.
As well, the black vote came spontaneously to Sen. Obama, without him having to make an overt appeal for their vote, as she did with women.
The Democratic superdelegates are products of their party – nice liberals, nice people.

Up is down and down is up. Obama is the first candidate selected because of race. He is not postracial in anything but racist in everything.
One socialist against another. Wow! That’s exciting!
Probably be best not to get it on yet. McCain won’t be up to it. He has been in slomo for awhile, which is what he intends to do the whole time until November. He wants someone to wake him up if he wins.
“..describing his father born in a small Kenyan village, herding goats, etc.”
I wish Hussein had taken over his father’s business instead of having this grand scheme of destroying America. He will most likely succeed with the latter endeavor.
“Barack Obama, the first “postracial candidate,”...
At first I thought you wrote: “Barack Obama, the first prostatial candidate.”
Not so fast Kemosabe — there’s this nagging beast in your rear-view mirror that may have a thing or two to screech about between now and the Convention.
She’s set to win Kentucky and WV — and momentum will go back her way. This thing ain’t over yet. Big Mac can cool his heels a little longer.

Obambi was selected specifically because he was “black”, or, bi-racial. In any event, he was marketed as a “person of color,” which was gold to the Dims. His ONLY qualification to Dims is his skin color; he has nothing else.
Obama's MSM acolytes are already discounting this white vote on Tuesday, saying it was all because of Rush Limbaugh, and that whites will support him in November. Absolute fantasy. I don't know a single white person who isn't in college or a teacher who will vote for him.
As a a typcial white person, I could care less how much melanin Obama has. I will not vote for him because he’s a lazy con artist and a stealth Muslim, Marxist liberal.
“Obama vs. McCain: Let’s Get It On”
Barry,
While McBoob would throw his own mother under the BS Express in order to schmooze with a liberal, I don’t think that he swings “that way.”
“That leaves white consevative Republicans.”
Perhaps stabbing the base in the back for the last eight years wasn’t all that bright on McBackstabbers part, eh?
