Clinton launched a searing attack on surging rival Barack Obama after the thumping win in Iowa that bolstered the idea that America is receptive to electing its first black president. ...
Polls have indicated the vast majority of Americans say they would support a black candidate .
A Gallup survey conducted in early 2007 found only 6 percent of men and 5 percent of women said they would not vote for a black presidential candidate -- a seismic political shift from 50 years ago, when more than half of those surveyed felt that way.
...
Clinton, aspiring to be the first female US president, used a debate, three days before the New Hampshire primary, to suggest that Obama had dumped previous positions on key issues for political gain.
Polls showed Obama had obliterated Clinton’s lead in New Hampshire.
“He could have a pretty good debate with himself,” Clinton said, trying to pin the ‘flip-flop’ tag on Obama, ...
Obama hit back at Clinton and accused her of misrepresenting his policies.
“What I think is important that we don’t do is try to distort each other’s records as election day approaches here in New Hampshire,” .

We will see who is reading FR!

Dang! I thought my prescience was...... well prescient!!!!
These primaries cannot finish soon enough for me.
Glad to see Hellary nearly had a Britney melt-down.
sod;)
Je$$e and $harpton are oddly quiet these days. Hmmmm... Those two democratic-house-african-americans must have been leashed by - or they are hedging their bets.
Things didn’t work out to well when they made noise about Obama not being “black enough” several months ago. Didn’t go over well with their base, seeing as how they supported the white woman and all.
