Obama camp is not playing the race card?

Hillary Clinton is starting to lose the support of prominent black leaders—and superdelegates— who previously backed her. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who carries great influence in Congress, says he's now tilting toward Barack Obama. Another Georgia Democrat, David Scott, already switched, the AP reports. “Something is happening in America," Lewis said, "and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.” • The pressure on black lawmakers who endorsed Clinton months ago is increasing. Obama supporter Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. told congressional colleague Emanuel Cleaver: "If it comes down to the last day and you're the only superdelegate, do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?" Cleaver said he'd think about it.

    That something came to an abrupt halt when Hillary Clinton won Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island primaries. I honestly think if the Democrats want to win the White House, Hillary Clinton will have to do it. Race will hurt Obama if his followers continue to make it an issue, causing Hillary supporters to either stay at home in November or vote for McCain or Nader.

    i did no longer see something interior the Paris Hilton advert which might recommend any involvement via the Obama camp. in certainty, I considered it because it grow to be of course meant, political satire. additionally it grow to be McCain who made Paris Hilton a factor of this campaign interior the 1st place to the better of my recollection. In regard to the race card, i'm getting disgusted whilst absolutely everyone performs it. In a suited worldwide campaigns could be approximately substance and genuine themes. we don't stay in a suited worldwide.

    Somebody is playing the race card. Whether Barack or Hillary does not matter. The fact is, the Democratic nomination is going come down to one thing. Democrats are going to have to decide whether they want to be sexist or racist. If they support Hillary, they are racists, support Obama, they are sexist. Isn't political correctness wonderful?

    How is any of this Obama's fault? If anything, these superdelegates are starting to see the light. And Hillary starts to launch the verbal attacks. She's gravely wounded.
