As inhabitants of the Democrat plantation, Blacks will vote for the Democrat nominee no matter what, whereas many Democrat whites will not vote for Obama.
Obama would be the easier candidate for the GOP to beat. That is the serious flaw in Rush’s “Operation Chaos.”

I haven't heard so much race talk since the 1960s.

Radio avoided too much politics back then owing to "Fairness Doctrine" consequences so there is no direct comparison there; but, race does seem to dominate the MSM as it was back then.

And as it was back then if you disagree with the black American ipso facto you are a racist -- a new twist today allows exceptions.

If the black American is recognized as a conservative -- well then, go ahead and disagree, call him names, whatever you want; hey! say many MSM employees, we'll even help discredit him if we cannot ignore him!

And methinks, eT, that the Dem Superdelegates will never risk offending their black plantation vote by awarding a split decision to whitey, even if whitey is a woman.

Although there is absolutely no chance that the black vote could go to any Republican in the forseeable future, the Dems won’t risk alienating their most dependable bunch of mindless, straight-ticket, robo-voters, and, at about 85%, a black that doesn’t vote is a Democrat vote lost. The Dems need the Lyndon-Johnson-freed-the-slaves vote even more than Republicans need religious conservatives, and the SDs fear that risk. They’ll stick with Barack and even throw him a close fight for the supposed long-term good of their party. They don’t need the Presidential election in ‘08, and may even be better served by a black candidate’s narrow loss, but they NEED to keep their black voters voting for them.

Why do all the reporters have to assign fault to certain groups? Does anyone think they would walk into a black neighborhood and ask why they support a dim or in this case only Hussein?

Polls: Less-educated whites hurt Obama (crAP, "dumb white folk hurts our candidate")

Then there is this FR thread also from yesterday. HMMMMM. Why didn't the DBM "AXE" the people in the 'hood why they support Hussein when he refuses to show up??

Report: Obama avoids black neighborhoods

The neighborhoods that BO avoids now will likely be the ones on fire if he is denied the nomination. And, to the liberals, this will be the fault of white conservatives. Count on that. BO spends 1 year in the Senate, runs for Prez for 2, and is taken seriously. What a joke

Methinks people will soon realize that Rush was wrong. Republicans made a HUGE mistake voting for Hillary over Obama.

Wrong! You're looking only short term...for the defeat of Hillary. Rush is looking long term...the destruction of the Democrat party. Without Operation Chaos, Obama would now be smooth sailing into the nomination. Instead he is a fatally wounded candidate.

I heard the “Revs” Je$$e J@ck$0n and @l $h@rpt0n on the news earlier. They are threatening to start riots in Denver if BO is denied the nomination now. I am wondering about their mental stability.

THE DEMOCRAT ticket for 2008 will be Hillary Clinton/Harold Ford, JR. MARK MY WORDS! To make up for the huge potential loss of the monolithic black vote that Dems would potentially lose if Obama is not their nominee, they will select the articulate, but wrong, Harold Ford, Jr. from Memphis. You heard it here first! He was a US Rep for several terms, just lost the senate race to Bob Corker in 2006. He will be sent around to appease the black voters that they do care when in fact they don’t. Harold Ford will be relegated to a back room in the White House with a phone and treated with the same disdain they treated Al Gore when he was Vice President. The truth is the Dems take the black vote for granted and when an “uppity” black dares to challenge the white supremacy the Dems have over black voters, he is taken to the woodshed and given a symbolic high-tech lynching. What a shame! Remember what Bill did to blacks this election cycle. He was NOT America’s first black President. He USED blacks to get elected.
Harold’s uncle, a former state senator, is now in jail for taking bribes. His aunt, Ophelia, is a sitting senator from Memphis who is an emotional basket case and is not fit to serve. She is there physically but her mind is far from her. She must be on heavy doses of medication. I do hope blacks wake up and see what the Democrat party did to them this election cycle. They stole this election from Obama and have the audacity to think blacks will continue to support them in November. WHY? I hope blacks surprise them this year.

I’m so sorry.
I didn’t mean to offend you.

Consider me duly chastized.
I’ll go sit in the corner now.

If media shilling alone was that powerful, McCain would be leading this race 65-35 in national polling because the media carried his water from at least the time it was down to him and Bush in the 2000 primary. Sure, the media has an effect, but enough people form long-term impressions based on personality and policy that it can be overcome.

And Hillary has a lot to overcome. Her negatives have gone down, but not enough.

Hillary Clinton stands by rapist husband, and is taken seriously. What a joke.

John McCain sides with Democrats and trashes Republican party for two decades, and is taken seriously. What a joke.

This election cycle ...what a joke!

I don’t think Edwards wants VP. Perhaps Attorney General or ambassador to France.

A Clinton adviser claimed that up to 75% of the roughly 300 undeclared superdelegates represented white working-class districts and may be susceptible to the argument that the New York senator is the more “electable” candidate to face John McCain, the Republican nominee, in November.

Hillary wins the nomination. Blacks will not vote for anyone in November, denying the Dems crucial states.
White Men who have long seen Hillary for what she is, a witch (give or take a ‘B’), vote for McCain by default.

McCain wins no mater who wins in Denver.

Once or twice a week I get requests to support John McCain. I am waiting for his VP selection. I would like to see Rick Santorum but am not that optimistic.
