Obama wins 91% of the African-American votes, yet according to the media the Clintons are racist and guilty of race baiting. I forgot only white people can be racist.

For the comment "Face it, if Hillary can't even beat Obama, then she stands no chance against McBush" If Obama can only scrape past Hillary with 91% of the African-American vote, how can he beat McCain? How many people would have voted differently if they knew about Wright before Super Tuesday? How many people are voting for McCain because of the blatant discrimination (pundants and democratic party leadership) against Hillary? How many people don't want to put BushLite Obama in office? Obama has no experience as Bush had no experience. 16 million people have already spoken out against him. How many more do you think after the rest of his scandals come are exposed?

You don't borrow money to purchase your FAMILY HOME from a man you don't know. (Clarification: Tony Rezko bought the plot of land next door to Obama so he could purchase his family's home)You don't spend a weekend with a man(Rezko) you only "met a few times." You don't have dinners with the same man. You don't repeatedly take laundered (for dirty politicians and terrorists) money and then lie about it. He lied about Rezko. He lied about Wright. His new Pastor is just as militant/radical as Wright. That doesn't even bring us to the Weatherman connection. Oh, whatever!

I don't support Obama, so I must be a racist or an uneducated white. Couldn't possibly be that I live in Illinois and when I voted for him, I believed I was electing a Senator and a different type of politician. Instead, he was not present and served up more of the same. Too busy running for office, selling books, PANDERING, and catering to his special interest groups. Open your eyes! They are all politicians.

Make your choice with your head not your heart. I voted for hope and change back in 2004. Obama as a Senator proved me wrong. As President, get ready for heartbreak. His nothing more than a puppet for the far left. Just like Bush was for the far right. He will not bring change. I have hope again though. This time it's that they (Obama, Howard Dean, Pelozzi, Kerry, Kennedy, and the rest of the leadership) will continue to push many of us out of the Democratic party and into the middle. Maybe in 2012 (with Republicans that feel the same way about the right of their party) an independent candidate can kick the bums out! I have a dream, that one day, as people not parties, we will remember: UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!

Barack Obama is the racist - calling his grandmother a "typical White person" - if that is not racist what is. Can you imagine either of the other candidates referring to BO as a "typical Black person" - all hell would have broken loose.

Hillary Clinton has won a majority of the white vote just as Obama has won a majority of the African American vote - but if you point out his victory not an eye is blinked but if you mention her victory you are a racist. Double standard? You bet!

The media is so pro-Obama it makes me sick. I'm a life-long Democrat voting for Hillary and if they take the nomination away from her I'm voting McCain - after all I'm just a "typical white person" - what can I do????

Maria honey; Democrats from top the bottom are all responsible for their failures in the past eight years. And you need to get off the donuts, because you are turning into one.

The scary part is that some people believe this trumped up crap.

"RACE BAITING"!!! give me a break!! If Obama can't
knock Hillary out of the race when he spents 4 to 1
in campaign ads, he is the weakest and unelectable!
The MEDIA AND REPUBLICANS are the ones that have supported Obama and bad mouthed Hillary every chance they got!! All the Republicans that have voted for Obama will now cross back and vote for McCain. The Republican's plan was to get nominated the weakest candidate, which is Obama, as they know they will tear him apart!! Sorry Democrats, but with Obama you have lost the election in November.
If Obama is nominated, you Democrates will be sorry as you will lose to McCain!!!

HILLARY4PRESIDENT081:30PMMay 12th 2008

JAW~ AWWWW YOU TOO SAID IT!! WE WHITE FOLK CANT HAVE WET-TV! OR UNITED WHITE FOLK COLLEGE OR ANYTHING ELSE PERTAINING TO US! OR WE ARE CALLED RACIST!!!

I DIDNT SLAVE ANYONE!! AND NEITHER DID MY FAMILY!

YES I FEEL BAD HOW SLAVES WERE TREATED!!

BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

I TOO WILL LEAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND CHANGE TO REPUBLICAN IF THE DNC DOES NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THE DEM'S REALLY WANT!!!

HILLARY 2008!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT WRITING JAW!!!

Peggy1:32PMMay 12th 2008

What a surprise. Another "isn't Obama wonderful and don't you just hate Clinton" headline. Her race baiting would only hurt if she was doing it. The race card has been played by Obama with more skill than OJ Simpson used to get away with murder. He can claim over 90% of the black vote and no one hollers "race". When she reads from a newspaper article about hard working "white Americans", the MSM screams "racist" and talks about it for days. While Obama talks about unifying the country, his surrogates are doing everything in their power to further divide us. And, it will show up in the general election. Because of all the flip flops on Rev. Wright, calling everyone racist who doesn't agree with him and failing to allow any consideration for the Michigan and Florida voters, Obama cannot and will not be the legitimate nominee of the democratic party. And if this farce continues and he is nominated, he will lose to McCain in November.

HILLARY4PRESIDENT081:51PMMay 12th 2008

HAHAA! PEGGY!!! TOUSHAY! AND YES I AM UNEDUCATED WHITE SINGLE MOM. THAT WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AT 43 AND GRADUATED THE TOP OF MY CLASS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGY!!!

Did any of you even READ Maria's article? No, of course not....

Concern black person2:19PMMay 12th 2008

Clinton are race baiting. All American are hard working not just WHITE PEOPLE. The Nation have Clinton fatigue. The Clinton ran a poor campaign. All you Clinton supporter go donte to her campaign $2,500 each and stop waste time write on these blog site that she is the better candidate she has no money. Her staff moral is low and her message is fill with pander to the America people to get votes.

The major of American has spoken we are behind Sen Obama.

Clinton's and the Clinton's supporter wants to blame Barack for Fl and Mich. The DNC set the rules before the primary and Fl and Mich broke the rules that were set. it has nothing to do with Obama and if she counts Fl and Mich she is still losing. Man i never seen anyone change the the rules so many time to suit there own interest. i guess the Clinton don't believe in fair play.

Black people alway supporter the Democrat front runner:
Bill Clinton recd 90% of the black votes in 1992 n 1996

Gore recd 90% of the black votes in 2000 and Kerry recd 88% of the black votes in 2004

Obama is recd the same support from Blacks like the other past Democrat front runner recd.

BTW out of the 17 mil votes that Obama recd so far 10.7mil are white votes.

d7062:26PMMay 12th 2008

Her Tactics are not hurting the Dems. But Howard Dean ,Nacy Polise and Obama sure are. The first two are Class A NUT CASES and Obama is not a good pick and not because of his color either. It's his back round. Plus he came out of nowear just about.Something is just not right about him.

hiltonnl2:41PMMay 12th 2008

The question itself is another example of the unfairness of the media and its Obama fawning.

WTOLawyer2:45PMMay 12th 2008

It is a fact: if you exclude the black voters who are nearly voting in a bloc because he is black, then how many voters remain? Not enough to win an election, to be sure!

Why be afraid to discuss the obvious?

K.C.2:51PMMay 12th 2008

My entire family in New Mexico and Texas will vote for Hillary or McCain ! There are many votes in this
large family . We all believe Hillary is the best candidate for president .

Rey2:53PMMay 12th 2008

Of course they are race baiting, and it has blown up in their faces. What's more, if the DNC names Hillary as the candidate although Barrack secured more votes, the Dems can forget about black and other deisenfranchised voters trusting politicians or the Clintons for a long time. Either way, I hope Hillary Clinton enjoyed her stay at the White House when she was last there. I would easily vote for McCain over Hilary as a black dem.

A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS

I’m just a voice in the wilderness. Only one voice and I suspect that it will go unheard until the masses open themselves to the realization that the wool is being pulled over their eyes. We are being misled and torn apart by our press, and leaders of the political, religious, civil order.

His campaign began with the “audacity of hope” and then as if overnight, a movement was born a movement for change. It is an ideal that had taken root so much so that even political rivals are using the mantra “Change”. Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Republicans, Democrats. Now everyone wants to be the voice of “Change”.

I have heard this man say time and time again that the game of politics as usual must end and that he does not want to improve the game. He doesn’t want to play the game. So set off he did by earning his campaign money through donations from the people and not accepting PAC money and not beholden to the special interest. I am proud of any candidate who can do that and still raise 20 to 30 Million dollars a month.

He has the votes the delegates and perhaps the super-delegates, but still the same people who are screaming for “change” who say that race don’t matter and that they don’t want to see this “battle for the White House” become a fiasco is making it just that.

Well back to being misled. Now I am watching our American citizens being used and torn apart by our press and our so called leaders of the political, religious, civil order for their own agenda. Today people are loosing their loved ones in a war in which no end is in sight. Today, right now some father or mother has to tell his or her child that they are homeless because they cannot pay their mortgage. Right now in America there is a senior who has no medicine because they cannot afford the cost and they are in pain. Today a man and a woman have lost their job because our businesses are leaving and going somewhere. Today, right now, in America a child is hungry and is living below the poverty line. In my city over the last 48 hours mothers are crying for the lost of a child due to gun violence. There is a voice in the wilderness screaming “Change” and Right now as I type these words our press and leaders of the political, religious, civil order are using distraction to sway its citizens from the reality of what our problems are. It is not (our problems) what Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday or who someone knew when they were a child or if I love this country less if I don’t wear a flag pin or that I don’t put my hand over my heart.

The press, only want to give you sound bites to hype its ratings so where is your interest of the need to know the facts compared to their bottom-line? We elected them but when someone talks about doing away with special interest and not taking PAC money and not accepting contributions from lobbyist don’t our elected leaders have motive to de-rail a true campaign for change? It’s their money that’s at stake and do you really think that they care about the “people” compared to all the money they stand to loose? You got Pat Buchanan, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and every other so-called religious leader hawking for a camera to give you their spin. Do these people, who all use Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. name and words in vain, honestly believe that they have your interest at heart? Dr. King is crying. It is not about black against white, rich against poor. It’s not about a candidate being too black or too white or if it’s a man or a woman who can win. She can say she is viable all she wants she still has baggage. She will be hit just as hard if not harder because of her baggage in the general election. It’s about the American People. That is what’s at stake. This election and every election after are about the survival of our children and our country. But I’m just a voice in the wilderness, only one voice, telling its masses that it is time for change.
