| Re: Obama phenomenon / fashion / hysteria? ^ I think the one that needs to take a chance is Hillary. African-Americans have abandoned her already. They're voting 9-to-1 against not just any candidate, but Mrs. Clinton!
Take the gloves off and hammer Obama on everything. Don't worry about alienating the African-American voters. They ain't coming back.
I think the Clintons must feel betrayed. Bill did so much for African-Americans and Latinos as president, but African-Americans have rejected her so badly in these recent primaries. She's losing the black vote 90% to 10%! I wonder if Bill now feels like he was nothing more than a placeholder.
The way that black suburban voters have ditched the Clintons can be alienating. I wouldn't be surprised if they are really feeling insulted. If the Clintons lose, their political careers are over. Do Dems want to vote to "retire" the Clintons in favor of an inexperienced guy who talks change? To me that is Hillary's only chance. |
