Dodd is doing this why? I really don't have a clue. Obviously he can't win the South and you have to win it to win the presidency. Screw him and his cowboy boots. Why do any of us care whether Dodd even has a piss pot?

It's pro forma for Democrats to say this. South Carolina is very heavily black, something like 30-35%. Of that, you can figure on the Democrat getting 90%+ of the vote easily. So the black vote is the power center in SC Democratic politics now. Dodd is simply pandering. He'll probably also do the other pandering thing that Rats did back in 2000 and 2004...they refused to spend money in South Carolina when campaigning there. They would actually either stay in private homes, or if they had to use a motel, they'd stay in North Carolina or Georgia, gas up there, and drive in. Again, nothing but pandering.

The irony is is that most of the blacks I knew when I lived in Columbia didn't care about the flag one way or the other. They might've preferred it out of sight, but they were sick of hearing about it and in general, didn't seem to mind it. After the compromise that put that flag behind that monument, the only people that kept bringing it up over and over were out-of-state politicians, race pimps like Jesse Jackson, and the state NAACP come fund-raising time. The general public, regardless of race or political leaning, mostly considered the matter closed once the flag moved from the top of the Statehouse dome down to the Confederate Soldiers Memorial.
