This Is What I Expected To See

I thought that if the race got close, it would come down to this and it would be said by white power brokers in the Democratic party. I present Hillary Clinton.

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.

Sure 'nuff, a pattern is emerging. Or is this out of context?

Boy Boy Boy this race is just killing me.

If I had over $6 million of my own money invested in an campaign and had just had my ass handed to me in 1 election and barely won another, I would be acting a damn fool too. Add to that she’s been running for president for over 7 years and some guy with less than 4 years of national experience is in the lead.

Now the question will be how much of the “black vote” McCain would get with Hillary as the Democratic nominee and Obama not on the ticket. I would guess at least 15% if not more.

I will now sit and wait and Hillary tries to get Florida and Michigan seated at the convention.

Out of context?

How the hell could this be out of context?

HELL NO it's not out of context.
It's exactly what you think it is.

My question for Darkstar is this: Why did/do you believe all these dirty politics tactics would be a winning strategy for Clinton?

[DarkStar]

If it is a winning strategy, it will be because there are more white voters than Black voters. However, I don't know if it is a winning strategy or not I just expected it to come if the race got close.

Now, according to pundits, Obama can't lose unless the super delegates decide in her favor.

Thing of it is, Obama could not be in first place in every category without a sizeable chunk of the white vote. And while I do believe that because of the way the primaries have played out, there are some Clinton supporters who could not bring themselves to vote for Obama (unless Hills is Veep), I can't see a critical mass of democratic voters bumrushing the McCain campaign.

BB, you're right. I don't believe when push comes to shove that Hillary's primary supporters are going to bolt to McCain in the GE.

Furthermore McCain's support within the Republican Party is lukewarm at best. I read somewhere that McCain plans to attend La Raza's convention in July. This is only going to bring up his pro-amnesty stance again and reinforce doubts about him among the GOP faitful.
