Race in the Race, The End is Near.....


Many bloggers have accused HRC and her husband of using race as a campaign tactic. I have been hesitant of accusing them of this. Possibly it was unintentional. With HRC quoting a recent AP report that she is more electable because she can deliver the hard-working white vote and Barack can't, I have changed my mind about the Clintons. They are playing the race card with the Super Delegates and voters of West Virginia and Kentucky. Okay, the AP report said this was true, but HRC as a democratic candidate should avoid talking about this in this way. She could have said the AP says that I am more electable among the working class and just let the press sort it out. I am encouraged that many Americans are blind to color, and I believe Obama has appealed to all races because of his message of unity. We have seen politics being used as a game to score points and as a way to get financial support from lobbyists and special interests to continually getting elected. In the meantime, us voters are left holding an empty bag. My hope is that the Super Delegates will come forward and support the true democratic candidate, the candidate for all people, Barack Obama.
The networks are getting tired of saying HRC is a viable candidate. They gave her many benefits of doubt before the last elections. Clintonion math is getting extremely foggy at this point and the networks are beginning to see the end of the Clintons. Yes, they will continue to cover HRC's negative statements, but it is time to move on to John McCain as Barack's adversary.
