Wait, being black HELPS you win elections?
How could anyone in their right mind say that? neither being black NOR being a woman helps you win elections, especially for the Presidency in the USA.
Look at our 43 presidents!!!! All white men!!!!
I think Keith Olberman hit it on the nail - Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro are out of their minds.

And on a side note, WHY would Hillary come out and say this after Ferraro stepped down?

“Black voters need to take a serious look at the way Sen. Obama has achieved his national prominence,” Mrs. Clinton told an evening forum sponsored by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a group of more than 200 black community newspapers across the country. “His arrogant, ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps’ mentality, implies that my brothers and sisters who have received a leg up from Affirmative Action are somehow inferior.”
WHAT?
22 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy are Hillary supporters constantly saying she should win the nomination because she could beat McCain?
When virtually every poll shows Obama ahead of McCain AND Clinton?
Keep in mind, she'd have to steal the nomination as it is near impossible for her to catch up in pleged delegates.

11 AnswersElections1 decade agoAre Avocados really good for you, poop-wise?
A family member of mine told me something about avocados and pooping, and how it helps. I never really had a problem with pooping myself, but what does eating avocados have to do with pooping, other than you pooping the avocados out X hours after EATING said avocados?

This article explains:
"Just for kicks, pencil the New York senator in for landslide victories in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky plus narrow victories in Guam, Indiana, North Carolina, Montana and South Dakota ? scenarios that give her a hefty benefit of the doubt and then some. And what happens?
She still trails Obama."
And Howard Dean, chairman of the DNC keeps explaining over and over again that the superdelegates aren't going to vote against the people. What does she think she's doing?
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy should Barack Obama, or any other politician, have to DENOUNCE or REJECT any of their supporters?
Basically, I made a blog entry about this issue:

This exchange between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama over the suopport of AntiSemites reminded me of one slightly famous, very crazy, always antisemitic woman who has been a very popular and visual supporter of Hillary Clinton - ANN COULTER. Why didn’t Tim Russert, the moderator who is a part of the media alliance (alleged by Senator Clinton) that apparently has been unfairly nice to Senator Obama, ask Hillary if she accepts or rejects the support of Ann Coulter?
Obama was put on the spot by Tim Russert, who played the “Farrakhan Card,” as Hillary has an anti-semitic columnist/political commentator/author campaigning for her on Fox News! I don’t believe that either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama should have to apologize for or reject any of their supporters. Should politicians be forced to do this for now on?
