Dems: It's Time to Retire the “Racism” Franchise

Won't happen. Then they'd have to address the debate and defend their argument on merit alone.

I think it’s (the cry-wolf racism tactic) backfiring and making them more unsympathetic to independents. They are losing the national debate, and the insertion of race into the debate looks like what it is — desperation. It must be hurting Obama, too, indirectly, because it makes his promise of “post-racial” reconciliation seem even emptier than his broken tax pledges. There is losing, and then there is losing ugly. The Dems are losing ugly. At least Clinton had the sense to see what was happening and realize he had to make some concessions, moving to the center after he was beaten up in ‘93. I don’t see Obama having the wisdom, or character, to compromise.
