There is no way the dems are going to let Obama be their candidate. This will most likely suppress the black vote in the main election. If Hillary doesn't carry the black vote she'll lose huge. To change this the old "Republicans are racist" gambit will have to be played to the hilt. To have a Republican frontrunner whose Republican father supported civil rights is a story that must be killed with fire.
“To have a Republican frontrunner whose Republican father supported civil rights is a story that must be killed with fire.”
Yes, this looks to be the case. In 2006, DNC had special operation derailing black republican candidate in PA (or was it OH). 2 assistants for senator Chuck Schumer were caught stealing the black candidate’s SSN and later convicted. Schumer denied involvement. Now they have similar operation. The fact that Romney’s father worked closely with MLK would be an absolute disaster for DNC/Hillary in a general election. It would be difficult to use “Romney is racist” attacks against him now.
Hillary had similar comments how she saw MLK (sometimes at age 14, in other stories she was 17 etc) but MSM is not interested in that. DNC will work on this and I’m sure they soon find witnesses who saw Romney in KKK meeting at the time of alleged MLK meeting.
This is the story DNC must push. Otherwise, they are doomed.
