Maybe they’ll all get trench foot.

[Jeff Chandler]

Come the election, all the blacks who now hate Hillary and love Ubama will vote Hillary.

You can bank on it.

[Parley Baer]

Hillary only in passing acknowledged Obama’s victory in SC. That will not endear her to the Black voters. Just shows what a witch she is.

[Reaganesque]

We may be witnessing the death of the myth that says Democrats can't be racists. Many black leaders are already publicly asking if they haven't been "played" by the Democrats. The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are trying to label Obama as the "black" candidate in an effort to appeal to white Liberals while denying they're doing so, is not going unnoticed by black Liberals.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out but, I still think Hillary will be the nominee, as the Clintons own the DNC but, her victory over Obama may so damage the Democrats that they can't win in November. It is hard to see how the black vote, the Democrat's most reliable constituency, would turn out for her after what Mrs. Clinton, her husband and their surrogates will do to Obama over the next several weeks. Get the popcorn out kids, its going to be interesting!

Obama better call his momma..

[Rudder]

Obama’s stunning win is also likely to polarise further an already bitterly divided Democratic Party...

It's divided, alright---about 67% in Obama's favor. It'll be hard this coming Monday to find a single democrat publically singing Hillary's praises.

[Wil H]

Trench Warfare?

More like Obama should keep an eye open for The Sappers from the clinton camp as they get ready to rig the vote.

[devere]

It’s up to the Democrat voters whether they want to endorse the Clintons openly racist appeal. Obama would be very difficult to beat in November, but the Clintons turn my stomach. Perhaps Robert Byrd can loan Bill his old KKK costume.

[Tennessee Nana]

FIGHT FIGHT

[HardStarboard]

Please guess the number of Hillary's campaign staff that has Googled "directions and map to Ft. Marcy Park" in the last two hours.

My estimate is 6.

[BusterBear]

If Mrs. Clinton does get the nomination, there will probably be some Democrats who would sabotage her in the General, the way Bill Clinton sabotaged John Kerry in 2004 (which is why Kerry and the Kennedy’s are attacking the Clintons now.)

Calculus: The Clintons didn’t want Kerry to win the Presidency in 2004 because then Hillary wouldn’t get a shot until 2012, at which time she would be too old.

If Hillary wins the Presidency in 2008, then no other Democrat will get a chance to run until 20016, unless they want to challenge a sitting President in 2012. If Hillary loses, then Obama will have a very strong shot at the nomination in 2012.

Yawn......

Electile Dysfunction

The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Mrs Clinton maintains poll leads in most of the 22 states set to vote on February 5.

this is what most people overlook. One Feb 6th Hillary will be in the lead and wont look back

[arthurus]

The Jesse Jackson comparison, while spoken as a compliment serves to tell white voters that Obama is the same as that obnoxious Black Man and I am sure that was the intent.
